Birth Injury Litigation
Birth injuries can lead to serious disabilities and can affect the quality of life for your child. The medical treatments they require can be expensive and lengthy.
A competent lawyer can make a birth injury lawsuit and investigate the incident to gather evidence, present the case for negligence, and represent you during settlement negotiations or at trial if necessary.
Settlements
In more than 90% of medical malpractice cases, plaintiffs and defendants reach a settlement agreement before going to trial. Both parties will avoid costly and stressful court costs and receive compensation for the plaintiff. If an agreement cannot be reached, a jury will determine whether the defendants are liable to pay the plaintiff compensation and how much the amount they are required to pay.
The first step in obtaining the financial compensation your child deserves for his birth injury is proving that the doctor you hired to deliver your baby had an established professional relationship with you and breached that duty during the birthing procedure. This can be accomplished with medical records and hospital bills. Your lawyer will also need to find evidence that shows the breach caused the injuries to your child.
Once you have the evidence, your attorney will submit a package of demands to the malpractice insurance companies of the defendants. This document includes a written statement detailing the child's injuries as well as supporting documentation. The malpractice insurance company will look over the request and decide whether to decide whether or not to accept it. If the demand is rejected then your lawyer will file a lawsuit.
Your attorney may recommend that, in the case that a lawsuit is successful for birth injury, a portion of the settlement or award be placed in a special needs fund. This will enable you to make future payments to your child to cover things such as physical therapy, medicine and home modifications.
Trials
In certain cases, attorneys may try to reach an agreement to resolve the issue before taking it to court. A settlement is an agreement in writing that settles the case and offers compensation to the plaintiff.
An attorney's team will collect evidence to prove medical experts didn't adhere to a strict standard of care and caused an injury. Lawyers for defendants also collect evidence on their own in order to refute allegations. The attorneys will meet to negotiate a settlement. If a settlement is not reached, the case will go to court.

Statute of limitations
Medical professionals have their own set of rules that they must follow in their procedures. This includes the statute of limitations which establishes a deadline for filing lawsuits. This limit is set to ensure that claims are filed when evidence is available in physical form and witnesses' memories are fresh. Even if a lawsuit has an established legal foundation the case will be dismissed if it's filed after the statute has expired.
For victims of birth injuries, the statute of limitations may be especially important. A successful claim may provide compensation for current and future medical costs, lost wages from missing work to care for the child, and emotional stress. In some cases, a jury or judge may also award punitive damages to punish defendants for extreme inattention to detail.
Victims of birth injuries must have a New York attorney familiar with these types of claims. They can investigate and collect evidence to establish a case of negligence or negotiate a settlement or take the case to court if necessary. In some cases the defendant could try to dismiss a suit claiming that the statute of limitations is over. A lawyer will be able to determine quickly if this is the situation. If the case involves public hospitals which are operated by local, state, or federal government the possibility of a separate, and shorter time limit could apply.
Expert Witnesses
Expert witnesses can assist juries and judges to understand the evidence and the facts of a medical malpractice case. They are also able to provide specialized or professional opinions and inferences to help them make a decision. They are able to do this because their knowledge and expertise is more thorough and reliable than that of an average person or someone with no medical background.
Legal representatives can hire an expert witness to review medical records, give a testimony, and aid the lawyer in preparing the case. The expert will sign an affidavit, and then testify in the court. An expert could be an employee of a hospital or health care provider from the defendant's institution, or an outsider.
The expert's testimony should reflect the current medical knowledge available at the time. The expert should not denigrate or excuse any action that is not in line with generally accepted guidelines of practice. Experts should be willing and able to provide transcripts from depositions or courtroom testimony to peers for review. They should not sign agreements where the fees for expert testimony are too high compared to their time and efforts involved.
Parents of a child that has suffered a serious birth trauma can seek damages to pay for the future expenses they'll incur for their child's medical care and any previous expenses that may have been incurred.
