Birth Injury Lawsuits
Birth defects that are caused by medical malpractice could cause children to develop permanent disabilities that require lifelong medical attention. Financial compensation through a birth injury lawsuit could help parents pay for these costs.
If you want to pursue this type of claim, it is important to look at a number of aspects. A lawyer can look over your case and determine if you have an appropriate claim.
Damages
When a medical error leads to an injury, the victim could demand compensation. A successful birth injury lawsuit may pay for future medical treatment, loss of income and more. The amount of damages awarded is contingent on the nature and severity of the injury.
A successful legal claim requires four elements to be proven: (1) that a medical professional did not adhere to accepted standards for professionals with similar experience and training, (2) that this negligence resulted in injuries to the patient, (3) that the injuries were severe and (4) there was evidence of damage. Your lawyer can look over medical records and consult with experts to determine whether your case is in line with these requirements.
In addition, to medical bills, a victim can receive other damages that are not economic, such as pain and suffering. It is often difficult to estimate the value for this type of injury but an attorney could examine similar cases to determine an appropriate amount.
The defendants in a birth injury case are typically hospitals, the doctor who is responsible for the injury as well as any nurses involved in the birth injury law firm. In certain states, midwives are also defendants. In New York, however, they are required to assist with normal pregnancies and to refer high-risk ones to a qualified Obstetrician. In these cases the midwife's actions could be considered to be malpractice when they were judged to be irresponsible or negligent.
Statute of limitations
The statute of limitations is a legal term referring to the timeframe in which you are able to file suit. This limitation ensures that cases are handled quickly, while witnesses' accounts are still fresh.
The time limit for birth injury claims differs from state to state. This is because each state has different laws and standards for medical malpractice claims. The general rule is to submit a claim for medical malpractice within two to three years from the negligent act.
To establish negligence, it's necessary to establish that the medical professional was bound by an obligation to you. You then have to show that the healthcare professional did not fulfill their obligation when they did not adhere to the appropriate standards. This standard is established by the medical community.
Your attorney will work with experts to determine the level of care that you receive in your case and whether the doctor fulfilled this obligation. Experts will review medical documents and depositions of the doctors involved in your case, and give their opinion.
Your attorney will also work with financial experts to determine your damages. The damages are typically determined by your child's future needs and could include both economic and non-economic damages.
Expert Witnesses
If a medical error results in injuries to a child, the victims can seek compensation for their damages through a lawsuit. The amount of the payout will depend on the extent of the injury and the resulting costs. These can include lifetime medical expenses as well as loss of income as a result of the inability to work, and pain and suffering.
In order to win their case the plaintiffs need to prove that the defendant's medical team failed to follow a standard of care. Generally it is necessary to have experts with the right experience and training to give professional opinions. However, defendants are able to present their own expert witnesses in order to disprove the plaintiffs' assertions.
A medical expert witness is someone who is specialized in expertise and knowledge in their field. They can offer an opinion about a situation during legal hearings and explain the situation to others in clear, understandable terms. Expert witnesses are typically hired to provide testimony in court cases involving medical negligence.
In a case involving birth injuries, medical experts might be required to testify on the guidelines to be observed during pregnancy, birth, and afterpartum treatment. They can also discuss the way in which the defendant's actions and inactions caused the victim's injury. They can explain how a different course of action would have prevented the injuries and help the jury decide on liability.
Filing an action
In most instances, medical malpractice claims such as birth injury lawsuits, are settled through settlements. Doctors and hospitals often worry about negative publicity and public relations when they're found to be negligent. It is important to consult an experienced attorney before accepting any settlement for birth injuries your child sustained. Most lawyers will offer free consultation and a case review to determine whether your child is entitled to a claim. If they are able to accept your claim they'll collect the medical records you need and will employ medical experts who will review them. These experts will be able to determine what should have occurred under a medical standard and can identify any missed diagnoses.
Your attorney will identify potential defendants in your birth injury lawsuit. This could include doctors, nurses, and hospital where the birth injury occurred. They will then collect additional evidence to support you claim. This could include physical and psychological evidence in addition to expert testimony.
Your attorney could try to negotiate a settlement prior to filing an official lawsuit. This is typically done by sending an official demand letter to the defendant that describes your child's injuries and the costs associated with them. While the demand letter doesn't guarantee a payout but it will give your lawyer a good idea of what the defendant might be willing to pay.
