When bringing a new life into the world there are so many positive and happy thoughts that come to mind, and the last thing you want to worry about during labor is a birth injury. Birth defects typically occur while the infant is in the womb, while birth injuries are caused by labor and delivery complications. There are even birth injury cases that begin in the womb due to prenatal care. Cerebral palsy is a very common birth injury in the United States and for that reason you are likely to find a birth injury attorney with experience with this injury more so than others. According to a personal injury lawyer with our friends at The Law Offices of Andrew Lynch, some examples of birth injuries are:
This is not a comprehensive list. There are many other issues your child may face during birth. It is sometimes hard to determine if an infant suffers from a birth defect or a birth injury, so it is important that you speak with an attorney that can differentiate the two and use the facts of your case to properly fight for you in the courtroom. Please be advised that just because there is an injury this does guarantee a claim, but only an attorney will be able to help you determine if you have a legitimate case. In the event that a birth injury was caused by an incapable doctor, that must be proven to a judge to decide the compensation may be rewarded to you to cover any medical bills that have been accumulated or that may be to come as a result of said injury. Again, it bears repeating that a knowledgeable attorney can advise you about your case whether you have one, how to pursue it, and what compensation you may be able to receive.
Besides a birth injury being caused in the process of labor or delivering the baby, some injuries are caused due to a prescription given to you by the physician. These are a bit easier to prove in that there are clear connections to the injury and the prescription taken. In these cases, you may also possible to pursue the pharmacist, and pharmaceutical company in connection to this injury. Anyone connected with the injury may be pursued in court, including doctors, nurses, and even medical companies.
This is not something that you may have prepared for, and is very heart wrenching to say the least. If you or a loved one has been a victim of a delivery that led to a birth injury, be sure to speak with a skilled birth injury or personal injury attorney so that they may assist in the gathering of the facts of your case and help determine the approach in your case. These are not easy cases to fight, and may include several unique factors so do not wait to speak with an attorney; find one near you immediately.
“Mr. Glotzer represented me after I was involved in a car accident. I was badly injured,but the insurance company refused to offer me a reasonable settlement. I decided to find an attorney and decided to hire Josh.
His law firm did a great job on my case. They were very responsive to all my questions and obtained a great resolution for me. I received way more money than was originally offered. I would recommend their firm to friends and family.”
“Mr. Josh Glotzer is a great attorney. Over the last 15 years he has helped me on a number of cases with professionalism, and more importantly a positive outcome in my favor. I have referred him to a number of friends and colleagues, all of which have been equally as happy with his legal representation. I trust him and confident in legal ability. I highly recommend his law firm.”
“Don’t try to deal with insurance companies on your own. They strung me along for almost two years before I gave the case to Glotzer & Leib. Josh and his team quickly obtained a settlement that netted me many times what the insurance company was offering. Thank You!”
“My wife was in a car accident last year and Josh did an amazing job representing her. It’s very refreshing to see someone in his profession that actually cares and puts his clients first. He’s the best in the business and I feel so fortunate that I was referred to him. Keep up the great work and thanks for everything you did for my family!”
“I was in a rear end car accident last year and hired Mr. Glotzer’s office. It wasn’t a big case but their office helped me with my property damage claim and did a good job resolving the injury portion of the case as well.”
