Birth injury cases seek compensation for parents of newborns who have suffered serious injuries before or during the delivery process. The most common types of birth injuries in these cases include:
Birth injury lawsuits may also be filed by parents who lost their newborns due to some medical mistake or malpractice.
The basis for compensation in birth injury lawsuits lies in:
Such factors can come in the form of:
If a birth injury was preventable and was somehow caused by a hospital's policy or staff, the parents will have a legal birth injury claim and will be entitled to financial compensation.
Statutes of limitation are timeframes after which a legal claim expires and injured individuals are no longer able to file a personal injury lawsuit. In birth injury lawsuits, the statutes of limitation will vary from state to state.
Consequently, parents of injured newborns should seek immediate legal counsel following their child's birth injury. To encourage affected parents to seek out their deserved compensation, most birth injury attorneys offer free consultations and work on contingency – so families won't have to pay for legal services until they win their birth injury settlement.
In many cases, birth injuries are incurable and severely debilitating. Such afflictions typically require life-long treatment and, in the most serious instances, round-the-clock care.
Because this type of treatment is expensive, parents of affected newborns should pursue birth injury compensation to help pay for past medical bills and the cost of ongoing treatments. These birth injury settlements will also compensate families for their pain and suffering, as the devastation of having a baby with such severe impairments takes a huge emotional toll on affected families.
