A lot of birth injury cases involve a tense debate about medical malpractice versus medical errors. Our lawyers can help you learn the distinctions.

Costs of Treatment

In determining the amount to pay for a birth injury lawyers from insurance companies and judges look at the degree of the injury as well as its impact on the child's quality of life. If a child needs extensive medical treatment that lasts for a long time, the value of the claim will rise.

Medical treatment for birth injury can be costly. Compensation for birth injuries can aid families in covering these costs. Lawyers often collaborate with experts to create an "Life Care Plan," which calculates the lifetime cost of a child's injuries. These expenses include hospitalization, surgeries, specialized medical treatments such as prescriptions, home repairs and equipment, etc.

Your legal team will gather medical records from the pregnancy and birth of your child, as well as firsthand accounts from family members. They will use these records to prove that your child sustained an injury as a result of negligence by a medical professional, and to demonstrate the extent of the damage caused.

Many states have established medical indemnity funds that provide financial aid to families of children born with birth injuries. These funds collect some of the malpractice insurance premiums, or require hospitals and doctors to contribute to the resource pool. These programs can provide families with financial aid and decrease the need to file a lawsuit. JLARC staff however found that these programs did not always meet their goals, and need to be improved.

Life Care Planning

Children with conditions like hypoxic ischephalopathy or cerebral palsy will need medical care throughout their lives. This includes physical therapy, special equipment, and home health care. The costs for these can be significant.

A life-care plan is a document that outlines the future medical education, home-based, and other expenses that a disabled child will incur for the rest of his or their life. These plans are frequently used to determine the amount of damages in a birth injury lawsuit. These plans must be thorough and carefully drafted in order to comply with the strict requirements for admissibility.

Experts in planning for life can help develop these documents using their input and the formal opinions from a child's doctors as well as therapists and caregivers. The plans provide a detailed description of the initial injury and its diagnosis. They explain the underlying cause of the disability and its long-term effects.

A medical malpractice lawyer should work with a life-care planner to create the most effective plan for their client's specific situation. The goal of the plan is to ensure that your child receives sufficient compensation to cover the cost of all of his or her future medical and other expenses. The funds awarded are typically put into a special needs trust managed by an approved administrator. The amount of money awarded is usually adjusted periodically to reflect the changing needs of your child.

Suffering and Pain

In a birth injury lawsuit the damages awarded are for a plaintiff's past and future suffering and pain. This includes physical and mental suffering caused by the injury, as also the inability to take part in activities that others are able to perform.

It is also possible to recuperate for income loss if the disability of a victim limits their career options or prohibits the person from working at all. Additionally, families could be compensated if needed to take care of an injured child.

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

During the trial, lawyers for both sides will gather evidence to back their arguments. They will exchange documents during a process called discovery, which involves deposing witnesses to get statements under swearing. The defendants may also request to look over the medical records of the plaintiff which is permitted in all states.

An attorney with experience in this type of situation is required to file a successful claim for birth injury. An experienced attorney will review the details of your case, determine if it satisfies the requirements for a lawsuit and seek out the most favorable settlement for your financial needs.

Punitive Damages

Some medical malpractice lawsuits contain punitive damages. These are intended to communicate a message to discourage future reckless behavior. The award of these damages is made when there is a significant amount of negligence or malice on the part the doctor. However, they are extremely rare in birth injury cases.

After identifying the defendants the attorney needs to gather and review the evidence to support the claim. They must prove that the injuries caused by medical professionals failed to meet a high standard of care. The legal team also needs to show the costs associated with the injuries, which is known as "damages." This information can be economic or non-economic in the sense that it is not a loss.

The economic losses are usually calculated by estimating the cost of the child's ongoing medical treatment, which includes long-term care facilities and other services. They could also consider loss of earnings if the accident caused one or both parents to quit their jobs.

The legal team will then prepare a demand package that they can present to the malpractice lawyers. This document will describe the birth injury and its effect on the child's family and as well as request compensation to cover the cost of these losses. The lawyers will negotiate with medical professionals until they reach a settlement. During the discovery process, attorneys will exchange information with other party regarding their case. This includes depositions of witnesses that testify on oath.
