Proving Fault in a Birth Injury Lawsuit

Breaking down every step of the Birth Injury Process

What does my lawyer have to prove in a birth injury lawsuit?

It can be very difficult to prove that the health care team was at fault for your child’s injury. To determine fault, you will need to prove that the doctor or medical staff were fully responsible for the birth injury and that it happened because of their negligence. Your lawyer will gather evidence to show the medical team’s negligence directly caused your injury. They will use several forms of evidence, including an exact timeline of how the injury happened and when it took place. The attorney will also gather medical records and opinions of expert witnesses to prove that things weren’t done appropriately. 

Filing a birth injury lawsuit

Did you know that 7 out of 1,000 birth result in a birth injury? A birth injury is a physical injury that is sustained by a newborn or infant during the time of childbirth. It may be caused by medical malpractice, negligent nursing care, maternal negligence, negligence of the hospital or delivery room staff, and other situations. If you were injured during your pregnancy or labor and delivery process, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

In many cases, it is difficult to prove that negligence occurred. That is why it is important to go through all the steps necessary for filing a birth injury lawsuit, including building an argument based on the documented injuries and care, gathering documents that support your claim from hospitals, medical providers, insurance companies, etc., and then consulting with an attorney who specializes in these types of lawsuits.

Finding the best birth injury lawyer

It’s never easy finding the best birth injury lawyer for your case. You may be tempted to go with the first law firm you see or the first billboard you pass, but that might not be the best decision. There are many different factors that go into deciding who is the best. Some lawyers specialize in specific areas, and it’s important to know what your case needs before you start looking.

The lawyer should be experienced, knowledgeable, and honest. You want someone who will be there for you every step of the way. Whichever online or offline source of knowledge you’re using to gather information about prospective lawyers, make sure that it’s trustworthy and reliable.
