Birth Injury Compensation

The compensation available in a birth injury case can vary depending on the specific circumstances and the severity of the injury. However, some common types of damages that you may recover include:

Medical Expenses

One of the most significant types of compensation available in a birth injury case is reimbursement for medical expenses. This includes all costs associated with the immediate treatment of the injury, such as hospital stays, surgeries, and medications.

However, many birth injuries result in long-term or even lifelong medical needs. Your child may require ongoing therapies, surgeries, or medication management far into the future.

Our attorneys will work with medical experts to calculate the projected cost of your child’s future medical care and ensure that these expenses are accounted for in any settlement or award.

Therapy and Rehabilitation Costs

Birth injuries often result in physical, cognitive, or developmental impairments that require extensive therapy and rehabilitation. This may include physical therapy to help your child develop strength and mobility, occupational therapy to assist with daily living skills, and speech therapy to address communication difficulties.

These therapies can be costly and may be needed for many years. Our attorneys will fight to ensure that your child has access to the rehabilitative services they need and that the cost of these services is fully compensated.

Special Education and Assistive Technology Expenses

Depending on the nature and severity of your child’s birth injury, they may require special education services or assistive technology to help them reach their full potential. This could include specialized instructional support, modifications to the curriculum, or adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs, communication devices, or computer software.

Our attorneys will work to cover your child’s considerable educational and developmental needs with any settlement or award.

Lost Wages for Parents

Caring for a child with a birth injury often requires a significant time commitment from parents. You may need to take time off work to attend medical appointments and therapy sessions or to provide daily care for your child. In some cases, a parent may need to leave their job entirely to become a full-time caregiver.

These lost wages can put a significant financial strain on families. Our attorneys will fight to recover compensation for your lost income, protecting your family’s financial stability.

Pain and Suffering

The physical pain and emotional suffering experienced by both the child and their family as a result of a birth injury cannot be overstated. These injuries can have a profound impact on a child’s quality of life, limiting their ability to engage in normal childhood activities and experiences.

Parents may struggle with feelings of grief, anger, and helplessness as they watch their children face challenges and obstacles.

While no amount of money can truly compensate for this pain and suffering, our attorneys will fight to ensure that your family’s emotional distress is acknowledged and accounted for in any settlement or award.

Punitive Damages

In some cases of egregious negligence or willful misconduct, the court may award punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages. Punitive damages punish the defendant for their actions and deter similar behavior.

If the circumstances of your child’s birth injury warrant punitive damages, our attorneys will build a strong case to pursue this additional compensation and hold the responsible parties fully accountable for their actions.
