How do I know if my child's birth injury was caused by malpractice?
An experienced birth injury attorney will review prenatal records, fetal monitoring strips, labor and delivery records, and neonatal records with medical experts to determine whether the standard of care was met.
What is the statute of limitations for birth injury cases?
It varies by state. Many states have extended or tolled statutes for minors — sometimes until age 18 or later. However, claims against government hospitals often have much shorter deadlines.
What damages can we recover?
Medical expenses (past and future), therapy and rehabilitation, special education, adaptive equipment, home modifications, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and lifelong care costs.
