The Benefits of a Birth Injury Settlement
A birth injury settlement can assist in covering medical treatments that can be costly. The amount of compensation that you receive will depend on the type and severity of the birth injury your child suffered.
Costs for lifelong care are usually due to serious birth injuries, like cerebral palsy. These costs are known as economic damages and aren't subject to maximum caps in most states.
Compensation
Medical malpractice laws could make doctors and nurses liable for errors they make during childbirth which have permanent and life-altering effects on the mother or baby. In certain cases the court will award compensation for damages like pain and suffering and loss of consortium future and past physical therapy, medical bills and more.
A birth injury lawsuit can also seek compensation for other costs that would be avoided if the doctor did not commit error, such as loss of income or decreased earning capacity. Parents who are responsible for their disabled child usually must quit their jobs, which can result in significant financial losses. Some birth injuries also require expensive equipment or modifications to the home. This can result in significant costs.
Lawyers begin the claims process by submitting a first demand packet to the malpractice insurance company of the doctor or hospital with a full description of the accident as well as all relevant documents. The insurance company will then review the claim and either accept or decline it. If the company rejects the claim then lawyers will prepare to make a claim.
Certain states have an indemnity fund to treat birth injuries, which can reduce the amount of medical malpractice insurance or charges imposed by doctors. However, these funds may not be enough to cover the cost of a lifetime of treatment. In addition they do not stop plaintiffs from seeking financial compensation from other defendants, like the hospital where the negligence took place.
Expert Witnesses
Medical professionals who are involved in a lawsuit involving birth injuries owe an obligation of care to the mother and child. If the healthcare provider fails to perform this obligation and it leads to an injury, they could be held accountable for malpractice. Expert witnesses are needed to prove this claim. They are usually doctors from the same or the same field, who can describe in layman's terms the standard of practice and explain how the medical professional who was liable for the malpractice breached that standard.
A birth injury lawyer who has experience knows how to get and provide expert witness testimony. They also have the ability to anticipate healthcare professionals defenses and counter them in a manner that the case is presented in the most favorable light.
Your lawyer will help you determine the total amount of your losses and then prove it in the court. These include both economic and non-economic ones, such as medical expenses as well as pain and suffering, and loss of income.
A reputable birth injury lawyer is also skilled in negotiating against insurers and is aware of the strategies they employ to force victims into accepting lowball settlement offers. Your attorney can help resist these pressures, and keep your case moving until the malpractice insurers of the medical professionals agree to accept a settlement. If they refuse, your attorney can start a lawsuit to compel them to negotiate in good faith.
Statute of Limitations
There are strict deadlines for filing claims on behalf of children who suffered birth injuries. For example, medical malpractice claims based upon injuries to the mother must generally be filed within two years from the date of the negligent act or omission that led to the claim. In contrast birth injury claims based upon injuries to the child can typically be filed up to the time that the child reaches 10.
The objective of building an argument that is strong is to establish that your child's medical professional breached the standard of care. This may require a thorough review of medical records and tests, and it could include interviewing other doctors, nurses and hospital personnel who observed the birth and labor process.
You are not guaranteed to be awarded a settlement if you prove that a medical professional did not meet the standard of care. You also need to show that the breach of duty directly caused the injuries to your child. This is referred to as causation and is a hotly contested issue in many medical malpractice cases.
It is important to choose an attorney who has the resources needed to construct your case and, after that, go through a trial. The lawyer you choose will typically advance costs for litigation and only be paid when you receive compensation. This lets you concentrate on the recovery of your child, and also provides a degree of financial assurance that you can count on in the event of a long, long trial.
Time Limits
Every state has a statute of limitations, or timeframe within which you are required to bring a lawsuit. This limitation ensures that legal proceedings are handled in a timely manner and even if physical evidence is accessible and witnesses' statements remain fresh. The time limit for birth injuries is usually two-and-a-half years from the date that negligence or negligence was alleged to have occurred.
However there are exceptions to injuries suffered by infants. New York law, for example, allows for a longer statute of limitations on medical malpractice claims for children. The deadline is extended to 10 years from the date of birth of the child.
An experienced birth injury lawyer will be well-versed in the specifics of each State's statute of limitation. They also know any particular considerations associated with a child’s birth injury case. For instance, many birth injuries are accompanied by significant economic damages, which include the possibility of losing future income (or loss of life expectation) and future and past medical expenses. Economic damages don't have a maximum limit which increases the value of a case.
An experienced birth injury attorney will be well-versed in the procedure of negotiating and settling claims with insurance adjusters. They'll know how to spot a low-ball offer and make use of their experience to counter-offer with a fair settlement amount. In some cases settlements can be made without the need for court. In other cases trials may be necessary to receive the compensation you deserve.
