The Benefits of a Birth Injury Settlement

A settlement for a birth injury can provide medical treatment that can be costly. The amount of compensation that you receive will be contingent on the nature and severity of the birth injury your child sustained.

Costs for lifelong care are usually related to severe birth injuries, such as cerebral palsy. These expenses are referred to as economic damages, and are not subject to maximum caps.

Compensation

Medical malpractice laws can hold doctors and nurses liable for mistakes made during childbirth that can have lasting and life-altering impacts on the mother or baby. In certain cases the court awards damages for pain and suffering, loss of consortium, past and future physical therapy, medical bills and more.

A birth injury lawsuit may also seek reimbursement for expenses that could be avoided if the doctor not committed a malpractice. This includes lost income and a diminished earning capacity. Parents who are forced to care for their children with disabilities often face significant financial losses. Some birth injuries also require expensive equipment or changes to the home. This can lead to high costs.

Lawyers typically begin the claim process by submitting demand packages to the doctor or hospital's malpractice carrier, including an extensive description of the incident and any relevant medical records. The insurance company will review the claim and decide whether to decide to accept or reject it. If they reject the offer the lawyers will be preparing to file a lawsuit.

Some states have indemnity fund for birth injuries which decreases the amount of medical malpractice insurance or charges charged by Obstetricians. These funds might not cover the costs of lifetime care. They also don't stop plaintiffs from seeking damages in monetary form from other defendants, like the hospital where the malpractice occurred.

Expert Witnesses

The medical experts involved in a birth injury lawsuit have a duty to the mother and baby an obligation to adhere to their profession's accepted standard of care. If the healthcare provider fails to meet this duty, and the result is to injury, they could be held accountable for malpractice. To prove this, you need expert witnesses, typically doctors from the same or a similar field who can describe the standard of practice in plain language and also explain how the medical professional violated that standard.

A skilled birth injury lawyer knows how to get and present the most expert witness testimony. They have the knowledge to anticipate and counter defenses of healthcare providers to ensure that the case can be presented in the most positive way possible.

Your lawyer will help you determine the total amount of your losses, and will prove it in court. These include both economic damages and non-economic ones, such as medical expenses or pain and suffering as well as loss of income.

A good birth injury attorney is also experienced in negotiating insurance companies and is familiar with the strategies they employ to get victims to accept lower settlement offers. Your attorney can help you resist these pressures and help move the case through until medical providers are willing to settle. If they do not, your attorney can file a lawsuit to force them to negotiate in good faith.

Statute of limitations

There are strict deadlines for filing claims on behalf of children who have suffered birth injuries. Medical malpractice claims based upon injuries to mothers must generally be filed within two years of the negligent act which led to the claim. Contrarily birth injury claims based upon injuries to the child are typically filed up to the time that the child reaches 10.

To make a convincing case, you must prove that the medical professional who treated your child violated the lawful standard. This may require a thorough review of medical reports and tests, and it could include interviewing other nurses, doctors and hospital staff who observed the birth and labor process.

It is not a guarantee that you will succeed in a lawsuit if you prove that the medical professional did not meet the standards of care. You must establish that the breach of duty caused the injury of your child. This is known as causation and it is a hotly contested issue in many medical malpractice cases.

It is essential to select an attorney with the resources necessary to build your case and, after that, go through an investigation. Your lawyer will usually pay for the costs of litigation and only be paid when they get compensation for you. This lets you focus on your child's rehabilitation and it also offers a level of financial assurance that you can count on in the event of a long long trial.

Time Limits

Every state has a statute or time limit within which you can bring a lawsuit. This limits the timeframe to ensure that legal matters are pursued in a timely manner, and as long as evidence in the form of physical evidence is accessible and the testimony of witnesses remain fresh. The time limit for birth injury cases is typically two-and-a-half years after the date that negligence or a mistake occurred.

There are exceptions for injuries sustained by infants. For instance, New York laws allow for a longer statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims brought on behalf of children, which extends the deadline to 10 years after the child's birth.

An experienced birth injury attorney will be familiar with the specifics of the statute of limitations for each state. They'll be aware of any unique aspects that are relevant to the birth injury case of a child. For example, many birth injuries are accompanied by significant economic damages, such as future loss of income (or loss of life expectation) and past and foreseeable medical expenses. Economic damages don't have a maximum amount, which increases the value of a case.

A good birth injury attorney will be well-versed in the procedure of negotiating and settling claims with insurance adjusters. They will be able to recognize the low-ball settlement offer and respond with an acceptable amount. In certain situations it is possible to settle without going to court. In other instances trials may be required to get the amount you are due.
