Steps After a Birth Injury

Breaking down every step of the Birth Injury Process

What should I do if my child has a birth injury?

Every parent would want their child to be born healthy, but sometimes children are born with injuries that can happen during the birth process. If your child suffers from a birth injury, you may have questions about how to provide for your child and what your legal rights are in these situations. Choosing a lawyer who specializes in cases like these will ensure that your case proceeds as quickly as possible.

Recognize that there is something called a “statute of limitations”, which means that the case must be filed within a certain period of time. This time period varies significantly by state, so it’s important to contact a birth injury lawyer as early as possible to help determine whether the injury was a result of some form of negligence or not. 

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.
