Home » Birth Injury – JotForm
Having a child is one of life’s greatest blessings. Unfortunately, tragedy strikes far too often when a preventable birth injury takes place. The results are devastating and can include the death of a child or a permanent, life-long disability like CP or cerebral palsy. After a child suffers a birth injury, parents are often left unsure of how to deal with the resulting emotional and financial crisis.
It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
Sometimes the signs of a birth injury are
evident immediately after birth. If you
notice any of the below signs, it is best to
be precautionary and reach out to an
attorney as soon as possible.
After a devastating birth injury, the parents are left with one question. How could something like this have happened? Too often, the problems during labor and delivery were completely preventable and constituted medical errors.
We have the experience and the resources to thoroughly investigate your birth injury claim. Our lawyers will gather all relevant medical records, consult medical experts, and determine whether the healthcare providers involved breached the standard of care, leading to the injury.
Birth injuries can result in significant, long-term financial burdens. A birth injury attorney can help families understand and calculate the full extent of their current and future damages, including medical expenses, long-term care needs, loss of earning potential, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
Our birth injury lawyers are skilled negotiators who can communicate with insurance companies to reach a settlement that adequately compensates the family for their damages, potentially avoiding the need for a trial or a medical malpractice lawsuit.
Not every case will result in a birth injury lawsuit. However, if necessary, your lawyer will prepare and present your case in court, advocating on behalf of the family for a fair settlement or judgment. They use their knowledge and experience in both medical and legal matters to communicate the complexities of the case effectively to a judge or a jury.
Ultimately, a birth injury attorney seeks to hold those responsible accountable for their actions or negligence, delivering justice for the families affected and compensation for the physical and emotional pain that was caused.
The statute of limitations for birth injuries varies depending on your state’s laws. In many cases, the statute of limitations for birth injury lawsuits begins to run once the injury is discovered. If your child suffered birth injuries, consult a lawyer at TopDog Law for more information about your legal rights.
