Birth Injury Lawsuits
Birth-related medical errors can leave children with permanent disabilities that require constant care. The financial compensation provided by a birth injury lawsuit can help parents pay for these expenses.
However, pursuing this type of claim requires careful consideration of many aspects. A lawyer will review the case and determine whether you have a valid complaint.
Damages
A victim may seek compensation in the event that a medical error causes injury. A successful birth injury lawsuit can cover the cost of future medical treatment, loss of income and more. The amount of damages awarded will depend on the severity and nature of the injury.
A successful legal case is based on proving four elements: (1) that the medical professional did not act in accordance with the accepted standards of the medical community for those who have similar training and experience; (2) that this failure caused injuries to the patient; (3) that the injuries were severe; and (4) that there evidence of damages. Your lawyer can examine your medical records and talk to experts to determine if your case fulfills the requirements.
In addition to medical costs an individual can also receive non-economic damages, like pain and suffering. It can be difficult to estimate the amount of these damages, but an experienced attorney can compare similar cases and determine the appropriate amount.
The defendants in a birth injury case are usually hospitals, the doctor who is responsible for the injury, and any nurses involved in the delivery. In some states, midwives can also be sued. In New York, however, the professionals who are trained are expected to help with normal pregnancies and to refer high-risk ones to an experienced Obstetrician. In these instances, a midwife's actions could be considered as malpractice when they are considered negligent or careless.
Statute of limitations
The statute of limitations is a legal term that refers the time within which you are able to make a claim. This limitation helps ensure that cases are pursued in a timely fashion while physical evidence and witness accounts are still fresh.
When it comes to birth injury claims the statute of limitation differs from state to state. This is because each state has its own laws and standards pertaining to medical malpractice claims. The general rule is that you are allowed two to three years from the date that the negligence occurred to submit an claim.

Expert Witnesses
If a medical error leads to injuries to children the victim can seek compensation for their damages through a lawsuit. The amount of the payout will depend on the severity of the injury as well as the subsequent costs. These can include lifetime medical expenses and loss of income due to the inability to work, and suffering and pain.
To prevail in their lawsuit they must show that the defendant's doctor and medical team were not following the proper standard of care. Generally, this requires expert witnesses with the proper training and knowledge to provide professional opinions. However, defendants may also present their own expert witnesses to refute the plaintiff's claims.
A medical expert witness is one who has specific expertise and experience in their field. They can offer an opinion on a matter and explain it in clear, easily understood language to others during legal processes. Expert witnesses are usually hired to testify in court cases involving medical negligence.

Filing a Lawsuit
In most cases, medical malpractice claims which include birth injury lawsuits are resolved through settlements. Hospitals and doctors often worry about public relations if they are found to be liable for negligence. It is important to consult with a knowledgeable lawyer prior to accepting any settlement offer in relation to your child's birth injury. Most lawyers will offer free consultation and case review to determine if your child has a valid claim. If they are able to accept your claim they'll collect the medical records you need and will employ medical experts to review the records. They will be able to determine what could have happened under a specific standard of medical care, and determine any missed diagnoses.
Your attorney will then identify potential defendants for your birth injury lawsuit. This could include doctors or nurses as well as the hospital where the birth injury occurred. They will then gather additional evidence to back up your assertions. This could include physical or psychological evidence as well as expert testimony.
Your lawyer might try to negotiate a deal prior to filing an official lawsuit. This is typically done by sending a demand letter to the defendant that provides details about the child's injuries and the costs associated with them. Although the demand letter cannot guarantee a payout, it can give your lawyer a good idea of what the defendant could be willing to accept as a settlement.
