Birth injuries caused by medical negligence can have lifelong consequences for children and families across Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. These are often the result of medical professionals failing to monitor, respond, or act in time during labor and delivery. Families at hospitals serving North Philadelphia and West Philadelphia communities are among the most underserved when it comes to advocacy after a medical failure. Hospital systems often use delay and denial tactics and make families feel like they have no case. TopDog fights to get you every dollar your child deserves.
Hospitals like Temple University Hospital and Einstein Medical Center deliver thousands of babies each year and serve the communities where our clients live. Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and Penn Medicine are also major delivery facilities across the metro. We know these facilities, the standards they are held to, and how to hold them accountable when a birth goes wrong. Those failures cause real damage to children and Philadelphia families and we fight to secure the future every child deserves.
Hospital systems and their insurers across Philadelphia County often use delay and denial tactics and work to make families feel like they have no case. Pennsylvania's certificate of merit requirement means the legal process must begin with qualified medical expert review — we handle that. We know how to leverage the justice system in Philadelphia County courts to fight back for your child.
IMPORTANT PENNSYLVANIA LEGAL INFORMATION — BIRTH INJURY
Statute of Limitations for Child: Minor children have until their 20th birthday to file.
Certificate of Merit (Critical): A licensed medical professional must certify the malpractice before filing. TopDog handles this.
No Damage Cap: Pennsylvania does not cap damages in birth injury malpractice cases — lifetime care costs, lost future earnings, and pain and suffering are all recoverable.
Comparative Fault: Modified comparative fault.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies for hospitals may make early low offers and use delay and denial tactics to make families feel like they have no case. Pennsylvania has no cap on damages in birth injury malpractice cases — your child's entire future is recoverable. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the maximum recovery available.
