Birth Injury Lawsuits

Medical errors made during childbirth could cause children to develop permanent disabilities that require ongoing treatment. A birth injury lawsuit can help parents pay for these expenses.

However, pursuing this kind of claim requires careful consideration of several factors. A lawyer can review your case and determine if you have an appropriate claim.

Damages

If a medical error causes to an injury, the victim can be able to seek compensation. A successful birth injury lawsuit can provide for the cost of future medical treatment, income loss and more. The amount of damages awarded will be contingent on the nature and extent of the injury.

A successful legal claim is based on proving four factors: (1) that the medical professional failed to act according to the accepted practice of the medical profession for professionals with similar qualifications and experience; (2) that this negligence resulted in injuries to the patient; (3) that the injuries were severe and (4) that there evidence of damages.

The defendants in a birth injury lawsuit are typically hospitals, the doctor who is responsible for the injury as well as any nurses involved in the delivery. In some states, midwives can also be defendants. In New York however, these professionals are only allowed to assist with normal pregnancies, and to transfer high-risk pregnancy cases to an obstetrician with a certification. In these types of cases an act of a midwife can be considered malpractice if they are deemed negligent or careless.

Statute of limitations

The statute of limitations is a legal term referring to the time frame within which you are able to file suit. This limit helps ensure that cases are handled promptly while the evidence and witness accounts are still fresh.

When it comes to birth injury claims, the statute of limitations differs from state to state. This is due to the fact that each state has its own laws and regulations for medical malpractice claims. The general rule is that you must wait two to three years from the date that the negligent act occurred to make an action.

Generally, to prove negligence, you must establish that the medical professional owed you obligations. Then, you have to prove that the healthcare provider did not fulfill their obligation when they did not meet the proper standard. This standard is set by the medical community.

Your lawyer will work closely with experts to determine if the medical provider has met the standards of care and, if yes then how. The experts will review medical records and depositions of the doctors who are involved in your lawsuit and provide their opinions.

Your lawyer will also work with financial experts to estimate your damages. These damages are typically dependent on the future needs and could include both economic and non-economic damages.

Expert Witnesses

The amount of the payout will depend on the severity of the injury as well as the costs resulting from it. These can include medical expenses for the remainder of your life, loss of income due to inability to work and discomfort and pain.

In order for the plaintiffs to prevail in their claim, they must demonstrate that the defendant's doctor and medical team did not follow the appropriate standard of care. Generally this requires expert witnesses with the proper expertise and experience to offer professional opinions. However, defendants are able to provide their own expert witnesses to counter the plaintiffs' claims.

A medical expert witness is a person who is specialized in skills and knowledge in their field. They can give an opinion on a matter and present it in clear, easy-to-understand language to others in legal processes. Expert witnesses are usually hired to testify in court cases involving medical negligence.

In cases involving birth injuries medical experts may be required to testify regarding the proper standards of care during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum care. They can also discuss how the defendant's actions and negligence caused the victim's injury. They can explain a different path that could have avoided injuries and help the juror determine liability.

Filing a Lawsuit

In the majority of cases, medical malpractice claims that include birth injury lawsuits are resolved through settlements. Hospitals and doctors are often concerned about negative publicity and public relations if they're found to be liable for negligence. It is important to consult with an experienced lawyer prior to accepting any settlement offer in relation to your child's birth injury. Many lawyers will offer a free consultation and a case review to determine whether your child has a valid claim. If they agree to your case they'll get the medical records you need and will employ medical experts to review the records. They will help you determine what should have occurred under a standard of care and identify any missed diagnoses.

Your attorney will identify potential defendants in your birth injury lawsuit. This could include doctors nurses, hospital, and doctor where the birth injury occurred. They will then gather additional evidence to support your claim. This can include physical and psychological evidence in addition to expert testimony.

Your attorney could try to negotiate a deal prior to filing an official lawsuit. This is typically done by sending a demand letter to the defendant that provides details about the child's injuries and the costs associated with them. While the demand letter doesn't promise a payout but it will give your lawyer an idea of what the defendant might be willing to pay.
