Birth Injury Lawsuits

Birth injuries caused by medical errors can leave children with permanent injuries requiring life-long care. The financial compensation offered through a birth injury lawsuit could help parents pay for these costs.

However, pursuing this type of claim requires careful consideration of many aspects. A lawyer will review the case and determine if you have a valid complaint.

Damages

A victim can seek compensation if a medical error results in injury. A successful birth injury case may be able to cover future medical costs, lost income and other expenses. The amount of damages awarded depends on the type and extent the injury.

A legal claim that is successful requires four elements to be proven: (1) that a medical professional failed to adhere to accepted standards for professionals with similar training and experience, (2) that this negligence caused injuries to the patient, (3) that the injuries were severe and (4) there was evidence of damage. Your lawyer can review medical documents and consult with experts to determine whether your case meets these criteria.

In addition to medical bills the victim may also be able to claim non-economic damages like suffering and pain. It is often difficult to estimate the cost for this type of injury but an attorney could compare similar cases to determine a fair amount.

In most cases, the defendants in cases involving birth injuries are hospitals and the doctor that caused the injury as well as nurses who were involved in the birth. In some states, midwives can also be defendants. In New York, however, these trained professionals are only supposed to assist in normal pregnancy and refer high-risk pregnancies to a trained Obstetrician. In these cases midwives' actions could be considered malpractice if they are deemed negligent or reckless.

Statute of limitations

The statute of limitation is a legal term that refers to the time frame within which you may file suit. This limit ensures that cases are pursued in a timely manner, while physical evidence and witness accounts are still fresh.

The statute of limitations for birth injury claims varies from one state to the next. This is due to the fact that every state has different laws and standards for medical malpractice claims. The general rule is that you are allowed two to three years from the time that the negligence occurred to make a claim.

Generally speaking, to demonstrate negligence, you must show that the medical professional was bound by a duty. Then, you have to demonstrate that the healthcare provider breached their duty when they failed to meet the appropriate standard. The standard of care is usually established by the medical community's personal norms and procedures.

Your attorney will work closely with experts to determine whether the medical professional has met the standard of care and, if yes what steps to take. Experts will examine medical records as well as depositions from the doctors involved in your lawsuit. They will also provide their opinions.

Your attorney will also collaborate with financial experts to calculate your damages. These damages are usually based on your child's future needs and could include both economic and non-economic damages.

Expert Witnesses

In the event that an error in medical care results in injuries to a child that are the subject of a lawsuit, the child's parents may seek compensation. The amount of compensation offered will depend on the severity and the cost of the injury. This could include life-long medical expenses, income loss due to the inability to work and suffering and pain.

To prevail in their case, the plaintiffs must show that the defendant's medical team failed to adhere to a standard of care. This typically requires expert witnesses with the necessary education and expertise to give professional opinions. The defendants may also call their own expert witnesses in order to refute the plaintiffs' allegations.

A medical expert witness is a specialist with expertise and experience in their field. They can give an opinion on a particular case and explain it in clear, comprehendable language to other people during legal process. Expert witnesses are usually hired to be witnesses in court cases that involve medical negligence.

In a case involving birth injuries, medical experts might be required to testify about the requirements to be followed during the delivery process, pregnancy, and afterpartum care. Experts can also explain the ways in which the defendant's actions or inactions caused the victim's injuries. They can also provide an explanation of the way in which a different course of action could have prevented the injuries and help the jury determine liability.

Filing an action

Settlements are the most popular way to settle medical malpractice claims. This includes birth injury lawsuits. Hospitals and doctors are often concerned about public relations if they're found to be negligent. It is crucial to talk with an experienced attorney before taking any settlements for your child's birth injuries. Many lawyers offer a no-cost consultation to determine whether your child is a victim of a valid case. If they decide to accept your case, they'll obtain the medical records you need and employ medical experts who will look over them. They will help you determine what could have happened under the standard of care and pinpoint any missed diagnosis.

Your attorney will then help you identify potential defendants in your birth injury lawsuit. This could include the doctor or nurses who treated the patient, and the hospital where the injury occurred. They will then gather additional evidence to back up your assertions. This could include psychological and physical evidence, as well expert witness testimony.

Your attorney may attempt to negotiate a deal prior to filing a formal lawsuit. This is typically done by sending an order letter to the defendant that includes the extent of your child's injuries as well as the associated costs. The demand letter cannot guarantee a payment, but it can give you and the lawyer a rough idea of how the defendant will be willing to pay.
