Birth Injury Litigation

Medical negligence during labor and delivery can cause serious birth injuries to infants. These injuries can have a lasting impact on the child as well as their family.

A successful lawsuit may aid in the payment of medical expenses now and in the future as well as lost wages and other damages. However it could take years to reach.

Compensation

Despite incredible medical advances birth injury lawsuits can be a risky. Baby and mother expect doctors on hand to behave with professionalism and avoid mistakes that could have lifelong consequences. If your baby suffered an injury caused by the carelessness of a doctor or hospital you might want to speak with an New York birth injury lawyer to find out what legal options you have.

If you are successful in your claim, you will be awarded financial compensation. This can cover future and current medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress and other potential areas of damage. In some instances, juries and judges may also award punitive damages for the most egregious of conduct.

Your attorney will work with a group of expert witnesses to understand what happened and establish the standard of care that is accepted. They will go through all your medical records and review the actions of your medical team during your birth. This information will help you build a strong argument and maximize your chances of success.

Typically, your lawyer will try to reach a settlement with the malpractice carrier before filing an action. This would involve making a demand package which includes a detailed account of your family's losses, as well as medical evidence that supports the claims. The malpractice insurer will then make an offer. If there is no settlement the case will go to trial.

Damages

The damages a plaintiff can receive are either economic (such a medical bill) or not-economic (such as pain and suffering). In a lot of cases, juries give both. The amount of the damages a victim receives will be determined by the extent to which the incident has affected their lives as well as evidence of the past and future losses. Some states restrict the amount of non-economic damages a jury may determine.

In order to seek compensation, it must be proven that the defendant acted in breach of their duty of care. This is done by using medical evidence, expert testimony and depositions. Medical experts are individuals who have specialized knowledge in a specific field of medical practice. They review all evidence in the case and testify in court if required. In cases involving birth injuries, the expert will help establish that the defendant's actions fall outside of the standard of care for an expert in medicine with the same training and experience under the circumstances of the case.

In addition to medical experts, attorneys will take the depositions of anyone who might have relevant information or a story to share. These are legally sworn statements delivered outside of court that permit lawyers to inquire of witnesses directly what transpired. Some depositions can be conducted over the phone or via video conference but the majority are conducted in the courtroom. These conversations can be difficult and stressful but they are vital in establishing a strong argument and securing the most favorable compensation for clients.

Statute of Limitations

As in most states, New York requires that medical malpractice claims be filed within the prescribed time of limitations. Parents have two and two and a half years from date of an incident or omission believed to cause injury to their child to bring a lawsuit.

Your attorney may review the medical records of your child to determine whether any nurses or obstetricians along with other hospital staff, were involved in the birth of your son or daughter. He or she will then ask for any documents and information that pertains to the injuries of your child.

If you want to prove that there was a negligence, your lawyer must prove that the defendant was responsible for your child's duty and breached this duty by failing to meet the standard of care under similar circumstances. To prove this, your lawyer will work with medical experts in comparing the medical professional's actions with accepted practices and procedures.

A lawyer can help you identify witnesses who can be available to testify in your case. They can provide valuable insights into the doctor's decision-making process and how a specific mistake or omission caused the birth injury suffered by your child. Your lawyer could then use this evidence to back up your claim for compensation. A successful medical malpractice claim involves two separate legal claims one for the child who is injured and another for their parents.

Expert Witnesses

Families can receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages from absences from work, rehabilitation treatments and therapies and costs for long-term care with the right help. The key to winning the birth-injury lawsuit is having the most experienced experts as your witnesses.

These individuals can review the evidence and offer a professional opinion about whether a medical professional violated their duty of care when they performed an act that could have led to an infant's injuries. They can also explain complex medical terms to make them easier for a judge or jury to comprehend.

The job of an expert witness is to provide unbiased medical testimony that reflects the state of knowledge at the time of the incident that is being investigated. This means they must not omit any relevant facts to form an opinion that is more favorably disposed to either the plaintiff or the defendant.

Experts must also look over the relevant medical records and contemporaneous publications with enough depth to enable them to form an informed opinion. In some instances experts may be required to provide a deposition (sworn out-of-court statement). These sessions are intimidating however they are an essential element of preparing for a case. Your attorney can prepare you for these sessions and ensure that you are treated with respect.
