Birth Injury Lawsuits
Birth defects that are caused by medical malpractice could cause children to develop permanent disabilities that require constant medical attention. Financial compensation through a birth injury lawsuit can help parents pay for these expenses.
To pursue this type of claim, you must take into consideration a variety of factors. A lawyer will review the case and determine whether you are entitled to a complaint.
Damages
A victim may seek compensation if a medical mistake results in an injury. A successful birth injury lawsuit can cover the cost of future care or loss of income, and more. The amount of damages awarded varies on the severity and nature of the injury.
A successful legal case requires four elements to be established: (1) that a medical professional did not follow the accepted practices for professionals of similar training and experience, (2) that this failure resulted in injuries to the patient, (3) that the injuries were serious, and (4) there was evidence of damage. Your lawyer may review medical documents and consult with experts to establish whether your case meets these requirements.
In addition to medical expenses, a victim might also receive non-economic damages like discomfort and pain. It is difficult to estimate the value of these damages, but an experienced attorney can compare similar cases and decide on the amount that is reasonable.
The defendants in a birth injury case are typically hospitals, the doctor responsible for the injury, and any nurses involved in the delivery. In certain states, midwives can also be defendants. In New York, however, the professionals who are trained are meant to assist in normal pregnancies and transfer high-risk pregnancies to a trained obstetrician. In these cases an act of a midwife can be considered to be a form of malpractice if they are deemed negligent or careless.
Statute of Limitations
The statute of limitation is a legal term that refers to the period within which you are able to file suit. This limit ensures that cases are dealt with in a timely fashion while witnesses' testimony and physical evidence are still fresh.
In the case of birth injury claims the statute of limitations differs 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 that you must wait two to three years from the date that the negligence occurred to file the claim.
To show negligence, it's important to prove that the medical professional had obligations towards you. Then, you must show that the healthcare professional violated this obligation by not meeting the appropriate standard of care. This standard is usually determined by the medical community's personal customs and practices.
Your lawyer will work with experts to determine the standard of care you received in your case and whether the medical provider fulfilled this obligation. These experts will look over medical records and depositions of the doctors who are involved in your lawsuit. They will also provide their opinion.
Your attorney will also work with financial experts to estimate your damages. The damages are typically determined by the future needs of your child. They can include non-economic and economic damages.
Expert Witnesses
If an error in medical treatment causes injuries to a child that are the subject of a lawsuit, the victims could seek compensation. The amount of the payout will depend on the extent of the injury and the costs resulting from it. These may include medical bills for the rest of your life, loss of income due to inability to work, as well as pain and discomfort.
For the plaintiffs to prevail in their case they must show that the defendant's medical team and doctor violated the proper standard of care. This typically requires expert witnesses who have the required training and experience to offer professional opinions. However, defendants are able to present their own expert witnesses to rebut the plaintiff's assertions.
A medical expert witness has specialized skills and knowledge in their area of expertise. They can offer an opinion on a case in legal hearings and explain the situation to others in simple, easy to understand terms. Expert witnesses are usually hired to testify in court cases involving medical negligence.
In a birth injury case, medical experts can be required to testify as to the appropriate standards of care during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum care. They can also discuss how the defendant's actions and inactions led to the victim's injury. They can also provide an explanation of the ways in which a different course action could have avoided the injuries and help the jury decide on liability.
Filing an action
In the majority of cases, medical malpractice lawsuits that include birth injury lawsuits, can be resolved through settlements. This is because doctors and hospitals are often concerned about negative publicity and public relations if they are found liable for negligence. However, it's crucial to speak with an experienced lawyer prior to accepting any settlement offer for your child's birth injury. Most lawyers will offer free consultation and a case review to determine whether your child has a valid claim. If they take your case, they'll gather the necessary medical records, and then hire medical experts to examine them. These experts can help determine what would have happened under the standard of care and also identify any missed diagnosis.
Your attorney will then identify potential defendants in your birth injury lawsuit. This could include doctors, nurses, and hospital where the birth injury occurred. They will then gather additional evidence to back up your assertions. This could include physical and psychological evidence as well as expert witness testimony.
Your attorney may try to negotiate a settlement with the defendant before filing a formal lawsuit. This is usually done by sending a demand letter to the defendant, which describes your child's injuries and the associated costs. Although the demand letter does not promise a payout, it can give your lawyer a good idea of what the defendant may be willing to settle for.
