Birth Injury Lawsuits
Birth injuries caused by medical errors can leave children with permanent injuries that require ongoing care. The financial compensation provided by a birth injury lawsuit could help parents pay for these expenses.
However, pursuing this type of claim requires careful consideration of a number of factors. A lawyer can look over the case and determine if you have a valid complaint.
Damages
A victim may seek compensation if a medical mistake results in injury. A successful birth injury lawsuit can be able to cover the cost of future care, loss of income and more. The amount of damages awarded will be based on the severity and nature of the injury.
A successful legal case requires four elements that must be proved: (1) that a medical professional did not follow the accepted standards for professionals with similar experience and training, (2) that this negligence caused injuries to the patient, (3) that the injuries were severe, and (4) there was evidence of damage. Your lawyer can look over your medical records and consult with experts to determine whether your case meets the requirements.
In addition to medical costs, a victim can receive non-economic damages, like suffering and pain. It is usually difficult to estimate the cost for this type of injury but an attorney could look at similar cases to determine a fair amount.
The defendants in a birth injury case are usually hospitals, the doctor responsible for the injury and any nurses involved in the delivery. In certain states, midwives are also able to be sued. In New York, however, these trained professionals are only supposed to assist in normal pregnancies and transfer high-risk pregnancies to a trained obstetrician. In these kinds of situations midwives' actions could be considered to be a form of malpractice in the event that they are found to be negligent or reckless.
Statute of Limitations
The statute of limitations is a legal term that refers the time within which you are able to make a claim. This limitation helps ensure that cases are pursued in a timely manner while witnesses' testimony and physical evidence are still fresh.
When it comes to birth injury claims the statute of limitations varies from state to state. This is due to the fact that each state has its own laws and regulations for medical malpractice claims. The general rule is to make a claim for medical negligence within two to three years of the negligent act.
Generally, to establish negligence, you must establish that the medical professional was bound by obligations. Then, you must show that the healthcare professional breached this obligation by not achieving the standards of care required. This standard is typically set by the medical community's own rules and customs.
Your attorney will work with experts to determine the standard of care you received in your case and whether the doctor met this obligation. These experts will review the medical records and depositions of the doctors involved in your case and provide their opinion.

Expert Witnesses

This can include lifetime medical expenses or loss of income as a result of the inability to work, and suffering and pain.
To win in their case they must show that the medical team and the doctor who was defending did not follow the appropriate standard of care. Generally it is necessary to have experts with the right qualifications and expertise to provide professional opinions. The defendants can also bring their own expert witnesses in order to refute the allegations of the plaintiffs.

Filing a Lawsuit
In most cases, medical malpractice claims which include birth injury lawsuits, can be resolved through settlements. This is due to the fact that hospitals and doctors are frequently concerned about public relations and negative publicity in the event of being held accountable for negligence. However, it's important to speak with a reputable lawyer before accepting any settlement offer for your child's birth injury. Most attorneys will provide a free consultation and a review of the case to determine if your child is entitled to a claim. If they are able to accept your claim they'll collect the medical records you need and then hire medical experts to examine them.
