The Benefits of a Birth Injury Settlement
A settlement for a birth injury can assist in covering medical treatments that can be costly. The amount of compensation you receive will depend on the type of birth injury your child sustained.
The most severe birth injuries, such as cerebral palsy often result in lifetime medical costs. These expenses are referred to as economic damages, and are not subject to caps on maximum amounts.
Compensation
Medical malpractice laws could make doctors and nurses liable for mistakes made during childbirth that can have lasting and life-changing effects on the baby or mother. In some cases, a court awards damages for suffering and suffering, loss of consortium, past and future physical therapy, medical bills and more.
A birth injury lawsuit could also seek compensation for the costs that could have been avoided had the doctor not committed malpractice. These include loss of income and decreased earning capacity. Parents who are forced to take care of their children with disabilities often face significant financial losses. Additionally certain birth injuries require costly equipment and modifications to the home, which could be costly.
Lawyers usually start the claims process by sending an application to the doctor or hospital's malpractice insurance provider, containing an extensive description of the incident and any relevant medical records. The insurance company will then examine the claim and either accept it or deny it. If the insurance company declines the offer then attorneys will make a claim.
Some states have indemnity fund for birth injuries, which can reduce the amount of medical malpractice insurance premiums or charges to doctors who specialize in obstetrics. These funds may not cover the cost of a lifetime's medical treatment. In addition they do not bar plaintiffs from seeking monetary awards from other defendants, like the hospital where the malpractice occurred.
Expert Witnesses
Medical professionals who are involved in a lawsuit involving birth injuries have an obligation of care to the mother and child. If the healthcare provider fails to meet this obligation and it leads to injury, they could be held accountable for their actions. Expert witnesses are needed to support this claim. They are usually doctors in the same or similar field who can explain in plain language the standards of practice and explain how the defendant medical professional violated that standard.
A skilled birth injury lawyer knows how to get and present the best expert witness testimony. They also have the ability to anticipate the healthcare providers' defenses and rebut them so that the claim is presented in its strongest light.
Your attorney will help determine the total amount of your losses and prove it in the court. These are both economic and non-economic ones such as medical expenses or pain and suffering as well as loss of income.
A good birth injury lawyer is adept at negotiations with insurance companies and knows the tactics that insurance companies often employ to press victims into accepting lower-priced offers. Your lawyer can help you resist these pressures, and keep your case moving until the malpractice insurance companies of the medical professionals agree to accept a settlement. Your attorney can bring a lawsuit to force them into negotiations in good faith in the event that they refuse.
Statute of Limitations
Parents can claim on behalf of their children to recover expenses caused by birth injuries, but there are strict deadlines that must be met. For example, medical malpractice claims based on injuries sustained by the mother must generally be filed within two years of the date of the negligent act or omission which led to the claim. Contrarily birth injury claims based on injuries to the child can typically be filed until the child turns 10.
The aim of creating solid evidence is to establish that the medical professional treating your child did not follow the appropriate standard of care. This could involve extensive review of medical documents and tests, and it could involve a thorough interview with other doctors, nurses and hospital staff who watched the labor and delivery process.
You are not guaranteed to win a claim if you prove that medical professionals didn't meet the standard of care. You must prove that the breach of duty directly contributed to your child's injuries. This is known as causation and is a hotly disputable issue in medical malpractice cases.
Choosing an attorney with the resources to construct your case and to go through trial is essential. Your lawyer will usually advance costs for litigation and only be paid if you get compensation. This lets you focus your focus on the healing of your child and gives you financial security in the event of a lengthy trial.
Time Limits
Each state has a statute of limitations, or timeframe within which you must file a lawsuit. This limit ensures that legal issues are dealt with in a timely fashion and even if physical evidence is available and the accounts of witnesses remain fresh. For birth injury cases the statute of limitations is usually two and half years from date of the accident or negligence.
There are exceptions to this rule for infants who suffer injuries. For instance, New York laws allow for an extended statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims brought on behalf of children, and extend the time limit to 10 years following the child's birth.
A skilled birth injury lawyer will know the specifics of the statute of limitations in each state. They also will be aware of any particular considerations in a birth injury case. For example, many birth injuries involve substantial economic damages, including future loss of income (or loss of life expectation) and past and future medical expenses. Economic damages do not have a maximum amount, which increases the value of the case.
A good birth injury lawyer will be experienced in the process of negotiations with insurance adjusters. They'll be able to spot a lowball offer and make use of their knowledge to counter-offer an acceptable settlement amount. In some instances there may be a settlement reached outside of court. In other cases it is required to get the compensation you deserve.
