Your legal team will gather medical documents from the pregnancy and birth of your child, in addition to firsthand accounts from relatives. These documents will be used to prove that your child was injured due to medical malpractice and to prove the extent of the injury.

Many states have enacted medical indemnity funds to offer financial aid to families of children who suffer from birth injuries. These funds collect a portion of malpractice insurance premiums or require doctors and hospitals to contribute to an investment fund. These programs can provide families with financial support and reduce the necessity of filing a lawsuit. However, JLARC staff found that these programs may not always meet their aims and could be improved.

Life Care Planning

Experts in life-care planning can help develop these documents using their input and the formal opinions of a disabled child’s doctors as well as therapists and caregivers. The plans also contain an extensive description of the injury's initial diagnosis. They describe the underlying causes of the disability and the long-term consequences.

A medical malpractice attorney should collaborate with a life-care planner to come up with the best plan for their client's needs. The goal of the plan is to ensure that your child receives adequate compensation to cover their future costs and expenses. The money is usually placed into a trust account for special requirements, which is managed by an approved administrator. Typically, the amount of funds given will be adjusted regularly to reflect the changing needs of your child's needs.

Suffering and Pain

Punitive Damages

Certain medical malpractice lawsuits include punitive damages. These are designed to convey a message and deter future negligent behavior. They are granted in cases of grave negligence or when there was malice on the part of the medical professional. However, they are not common in cases of birth injuries.

Once the attorney has identified the appropriate defendants, they have to gather and analyze evidence to back up their claims. They must show that the injuries caused by the medical professionals were not up to standards of care. The legal team also has to prove the costs associated with these injuries, referred to as "damages." This information can be both economic and non-economic in the sense that it is not a loss.

Economic losses are typically calculated by making estimates of the cost of the child's ongoing treatment, which may include long-term care facilities as well as other services. They can also include lost earnings if a traumatic event caused both or one parent to lose their job.

The legal team will draft an offer package that they will submit to malpractice insurance providers. The document will outline the birth injuries, and their impact on the child as well as the family, and request compensation for these losses. The lawyers will negotiate with the medical providers until they reach a settlement. During this process, the lawyers will share information about their cases with the other side through discovery, which entails depositions of witnesses who take testimony under oath.
