Birth Injury Compensation

If your child is suffering from a birth injury resulting from negligence by a doctor or other wrongful action, it can be devastating. These injuries are often life-long treatment and treatment, which can result in enormous financial costs.

Many birth injuries cases involve a complex debate over medical errors versus malpractice. Our lawyers can explain the differences.

Costs of Treatment

Attorneys, insurance companies, and judges weigh the severity of the birth injury as well as the impact it affects the child's quality of life in determining the amount compensation to be paid. If a child needs extensive medical treatment that continues throughout the course of time, the value of the claim will increase.

The medical treatment for birth injuries can be expensive. Compensation for birth injuries can help families cover these costs. Experts and lawyers often collaborate to develop a "Life Care Plan" that calculates the costs of a child's injury over the course of his or her life. These include hospitalization or surgical intervention, medical treatment, prescriptions, home renovations and equipment, as well as other.

Your legal team will gather medical records from the pregnancy and birth of your child, in addition to firsthand reports from relatives. These records will be used to show that your child was injured due to medical malpractice, and to show the extent of the injury.

Many states have passed medical indemnity funds in order to help families of children who suffer from birth injuries. These funds may either take a portion from malpractice insurance premiums, or require hospitals and doctors to contribute to a resource pool. In addition to providing monetary assistance, these programs could also decrease the requirement for families to bring a lawsuit. JLARC staff, however, found that these programs did not always meet their objectives and could be improved.

Life Care Planning

Children with disorders such as hypoxic ischephalopathy or cerebral palsy will require medical attention for the rest of their lives. This includes physical therapies or equipment for specialized use, as well as home health care. The costs for these can be substantial.

A life-care plan document is a document which outlines the future medical, education, home and other expenses children with disabilities will be liable for throughout their life. These plans are frequently used to help calculate the economic component of damages in a birth injury lawsuit. These plans must be comprehensive and meticulously drafted to satisfy the strict requirements of admissibility.

Life-care planners can assist to draft these documents in accordance with feedback and formal opinions from a disabled child's doctors or therapists as well as caregivers. The plans provide a detailed description of the initial injury and its diagnosis. They describe the underlying causes of the disability as well as its long-term consequences.

A medical malpractice lawyer must work with a life planner to come up with the most suitable plan for their client's situation. The plan's purpose is to ensure that your child receives enough compensation to cover their future expenses and medical care. The money awarded is typically put into a special needs trust that is managed by a reputable administrator. The amount of money that is awarded is usually adjusted annually to reflect changes in the future requirements of your child.

Pain and Suffering

In a birth injury lawsuit there are damages awarded for the plaintiff's past and future suffering and pain. This includes physical and mental distress from the injury, as well as the inability to participate in activities enjoyed by others.

It is also possible to recuperate for income loss if the disability of a victim limits their options for employment or stops them from working at all. Families can also be compensated if required to help care for an injured child.

Medical malpractice cases typically have very high verdicts, since juries tend to show compassion for the victims and hold doctors accountable for their mistakes. Due to this, many hospitals and doctors prefer to settle instead of risking a trial, which is expensive and stressful for the parties involved.

During the litigation attorneys from both sides will collect evidence to prove their points. They will share documents during a process called discovery, which includes taking testimony from witnesses under oath. In many states, defendants can also ask to see the plaintiff's records.

A lawyer with experience in this type of situation is required to submit a successful claim for birth injury. An experienced lawyer will examine the facts of your case, determine if the case meets the requirements for a lawsuit, and ensure the highest financial settlement possible.

Punitive Damages

Certain medical malpractice lawsuits contain punitive damages, which are meant to convey a message and deter future negligent behavior. They can be awarded in cases that involve serious negligence or where there was malice on the part of the medical professional. However, they are very rare in birth injury cases.

After identifying the defendants, the attorney must collect and review the evidence to support the claim. They must prove that the injuries caused by the medical professionals were not up to an acceptable standard of care. The legal team must provide evidence of losses associated with the injuries, referred to as "damages." These damages could be economic or non-economic.

Economic losses are calculated by the estimation of ongoing treatment costs, including long-term care facilities and other services. They may also factor in losses in earnings if the accident caused one or both parents to quit their jobs.

The legal team will then create a demand form for the malpractice lawyers. This document will describe the birth injuries, and their impact on the child as well as the family, and demand compensation for these losses. The lawyers will negotiate with medical professionals until a settlement is reached. In this process, lawyers will share information about their cases with the other side through discovery, which includes taking depositions from witnesses who are required to testify under an oath.
