Birth Injury Compensation

It can be devastating when your child suffers birth injury as a result of negligence by a doctor. These injuries could require long-term treatment and care. You will be left with massive financial burdens.

Many birth injury cases also involve a complex debate over medical malpractice versus medical errors. Our lawyers can explain the distinctions.

Costs of Treatment

Attorneys, insurance companies, and judges take into account the severity of the birth injury and the impact it affects the child's quality of life when determining the amount compensation to be awarded. If a child needs intensive medical treatment that continues for a long time, the value of the claim will rise.

Medical treatment for birth injuries can be very expensive. The compensation awarded for a birth injury will help families pay for these costs. Lawyers and experts often collaborate to develop a "Life Care Plan" that estimates the costs of a child's injury over a lifetime. These expenses include hospitalization, surgery, specialized medical treatments such as prescriptions, home repairs and equipment, among others.

Your legal team will collect medical records from the time of pregnancy and birth of your child, in addition to personal accounts from relatives. These documents 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 provide financial assistance to families of children who suffer from birth injuries. These funds take a percentage of malpractice insurance premiums. They also require hospitals and doctors to contribute to an investment fund. In addition to providing financial aid, these programs can also decrease the need for families to make a claim. JLARC staff discovered that these programs didn't always meet their goals, and could be improved.

Life Care Planning

Children with conditions like hypoxic ischephalopathy or cerebral palsy will need medical care throughout their lives. This includes physical therapies or equipment for specialized use, as well as home health treatment. These costs can be substantial.

A life-care plan is a legal document that defines the future medical, educational, in-home and other costs disabled children will have to pay for the rest of his or his or her life. These plans are often used to calculate the amount of damages awarded in a birth injury lawsuit. They must be thorough and carefully designed to meet the strict requirements of evidentiary for the admissibility of the plan in court.

Life-care planners can assist to develop these documents using the input and opinions of the child's doctor as well as therapists and other caregivers. The plans include a detailed description of the initial injury and its diagnosis. They explain the underlying causes of the disability as well as its long-term effects.

A medical malpractice lawyer should collaborate with a planner for life to come up with the best plan for their client's specific situation. The plan's goal is to ensure your child is compensated enough to cover their future expenses and health care. The money awarded is typically put into a special needs trust managed by an approved administrator. The amount of money given is typically adjusted regularly to reflect the changing requirements of your child.

Pain and Suffering

In a birth injury lawsuit damages are awarded to cover the plaintiff's future and past pain and suffering. This includes the physical and mental discomfort caused by the injury, as well as the inability to participate in activities that others could be able to do.

You can also recover lost income if an injury restricts their career options or stops them from working at all. Families could also be compensated to care for an injured child.

Medical malpractice cases often receive very high verdicts due to the fact that juries tend to show compassion for victims and hold medical professionals accountable for errors. Because of this, many hospitals and doctors choose to settle instead of risking the trial process, which is costly and stressful for the parties involved.

Both sides will collect evidence to support their arguments during the trial. They will exchange documents in a process called discovery, which includes deposing witness to get statements under the oath. The defendants may also ask to review the medical records of the plaintiff as it is legal in most states.

A lawyer with experience in this type of situation is needed to make a successful claim for birth injury. A seasoned attorney will analyze your case to determine whether you have a valid lawsuit and work to get the best settlement.

Punitive Damages

Some medical malpractice lawsuits contain punitive damages, which are intended to convey a message and discourage any future negligent behavior. These damages are awarded when there is a high degree of malice or negligence on the part of the doctor. They are not common in cases of birth injury.

After the attorney has identified the appropriate defendants, they need to gather and analyze evidence to back up their assertions. They must prove that the injuries caused by medical professionals did not meet an acceptable standard of care. The legal team also has to provide evidence of the costs associated with these injuries, known as "damages." The information can be both economic and non-economic in nature.

Economic losses are calculated by estimating ongoing treatment costs, including long-term facilities and other services. They may also include lost earnings if an injury caused one or both parents to lose their job.

The legal team will create an offer package that they will present to the malpractice insurance providers. The document will explain the birth injury and the impact it has on the child and family in order to seek compensation to cover the costs associated with these loss. The lawyers will negotiate until a settlement is reached with the medical providers. During this process, the lawyers will share information about their cases with the opposing side through discovery, which entails taking depositions from witnesses who are required to testify under oath.
