Families are confronted with massive financial costs when a child is born with a medically-caused injury or illness. A birth injury attorney can help secure compensation to cover the care expenses and improve the quality of life of a child.
Families must demonstrate four things to prevail in a lawsuit against birth injuries:
Statute of limitations
It is important to consult an attorney as soon as you can if you suspect medical negligence. This ensures that your claim is filed within your state's statute of limitations, and that you have sufficient time to develop a strong claim and get the right amount of compensation.
A plaintiff generally has two and half (2-1/2 years) to pursue a lawsuit based on medical malpractice, beginning from when the negligence occurred. New York law extends this deadline to 10 years in cases filed on behalf of children, provided the child is not yet the age of 18.
To prevail in a birth injury lawsuit, you must demonstrate that the defendant breached their obligation to you by the child's injuries. The cause of the injury is usually determined through expert testimony and documents that show best practices, which are widely accepted in the medical community.
Your lawyer will conduct an investigation and collect the relevant evidence in your case, including medical records and tests results from both you and your child. They will then find potential defendants and obtain the necessary documents from their insurance companies. Once they have completed the procedure, they will send a demand note for damages in cash to the parties responsible. If they are unable to reach a settlement with you, your lawyer will take action in court. A lawsuit is usually resolved through a trial, where each side presenting its evidence and arguments before a jury and judge.
Medical Experts
Birth injuries can cause devastating harm to the child and his family. It is imperative to seek legal help as quickly as you can. The lawyer can then construct an effective case based on medical records and doctor depositions. Lawyers may also approach an expert medical professional to give an opinion or review the case. This is a crucial aspect in any medical malpractice lawsuit.
Birth injuries aren't always easy to prove as symptoms might not be apparent until later. Parents may not be aware of birth injuries until their child has failed to meet milestones in development, or when their doctor has suggested that there are cognitive and physical limitations. Signs of injury, such as admission to the NICU or the need for an CT scan or MRI after birth, could also indicate a possible injury.
Causation is also an essential aspect of a successful lawsuit for birth injuries. You must demonstrate that the defendant's lapse in duty caused your child to suffer injury. If the doctor hadn't committed the breach of duty, then your child would not have suffered an injury.
Most medical malpractice claims, such as those involving birth injuries, are settled out of court. In a settlement agreement, the defendants have to reach an agreement on a dollar amount in order to resolve the matter. The amount must reflect your present and future damages. Your lawyer will collaborate with financial and medical experts to determine the proper amount.
Defendants
A successful birth injury lawsuit needs proving that your medical professional violated his or her duty of care. This is typically done by obtaining a medical expert witness' opinion. The medical expert will examine your case's evidence, including depositions from the doctors who were involved in your case, as well as medical records. He or she will determine whether your doctor acted according to the appropriate standards of practices for professionals who have similar qualifications, experience and context.
A lawyer will also hire experts in finance to analyze and estimate your losses, taking into account the past, present, and future expenses. Your lawyer will engage with the hospital's physician's malpractice insurer and file a lawsuit, in the event that it is necessary, to obtain the highest amount of compensation for injuries suffered by your child.
Contrary to most lawsuits, birth injury cases are usually resolved in settlements. A settlement occurs when all parties agree to a set amount of money, and the legal process ceases. If your case doesn't come to a settlement, it may go to trial, and a judge and jury will decide on your fate.
Birth injuries can cause long-lasting harm to your child or your family. It is important to be in close contact with a birth injury lawyer who has experience handling such claims.
Settlement
Your lawyer must do all possible to ensure that your family receives an equitable settlement. It will depend on the injuries your child has suffered and the demands that result. For instance, a severe birth injury could require years of care, often around-the-clock. Your lawyer will talk to specialists in medical and healthcare to understand the total costs of this care and to submit a claim for damages that is appropriate.
In many instances, the malpractice insurance of a doctor or hospital will offer to settle a matter without litigation. In these instances the lawyer will then send an offer package that includes an exhaustive description of the facts and the dollar amount you would like to offer to settle your case. The insurer will review the information and respond by countering with a counteroffer. Your lawyer will negotiate with the insurance company to decide on the fairness of the settlement.
If a settlement is not reached, your lawyer can pursue a lawsuit for medical malpractice in the county of the injury. Depending on the circumstances, you may identify as defendants your doctor and any other hospitals or doctors involved in your child's birth and the injury. Your attorney will be able to gather more details after filing an action, such as depositions and sworn testimony from witnesses through the discovery process. The evidence you gather will aid in your legal arguments.
