Personal Injury attorney | Understanding Birth Injuries and Lawsuits

If your child has suffered a baby injury, there is a chance that it may be the result of medical negligence. If this is the case, your child may be facing a lifetime of expenses related to the injury that will be out of the realistic financial abilities of most families. If you believe that your child was injured due to a doctor, nurse or institution not providing the necessary care to ensure a safe delivery, you may wish to consult with an attorney. There are some things that the attorney will have to prove to a jury in order for you to win your case.

Not all birth injuries are the results of medical negligence. There are plenty of things that can go wrong during the birthing process and severe injuries, such as cerebral palsy, are sometimes entirely unavoidable. In these cases, there is little that can be done. In order for you to receive compensation for your pain and suffering, as well as to set your child up for paying for the high medical costs they’ll inevitably face, your attorney will have to prove that the injury could have been avoided if the doctors and nurses or institution had done their jobs as expected.

Where a cerebral palsy injury is concerned, the symptoms can be very severe. Some parents have children with this disorder who require almost constant care. This will not diminish with time. Even though cerebral palsy is not a degenerative disorder—it’s a brain injury—the symptoms can become worse over time. If this is the case, the amount of assistance the child needs will continue to increase and, along with those increases in the level of care, the prices will get higher and higher. This is a frightening situation for any parent.

Fortunately, some cerebral palsy lawyers will work on contingency. This allows people who have very little money to get the same quality of representation they would if they were wealthy. These arrangements require that the attorney win the claim if they’re to get paid. If they don’t win the claim, you walk away without paying a dime. If they win, their legal fees are deducted from the settlement or jury award amount. This arrangement is one of the best for those who cannot afford legal fees outright. If your attorney can prove liability, you may get compensated.
