Four Parts of a Legal Claim
If a hospital or doctor causes a birth trauma, the family in question deserves fair compensation to pay for medical expenses and to ensure the future of their child. Attorneys work with experts to build an action plan that fulfills the four elements of a legal claim.
The lawsuit begins with the filing of the summons and complaint with the attorney representing the plaintiff. The case goes through an investigation period, during which attorneys exchange information and conduct depositions.
Statute of limitations
Like the majority of personal injury lawsuits such as birth injuries, birth injury lawsuits must be filed within a certain time frame, which is known as a statute of limitation. After this time-frame expires, both the victim's family and their loved ones might not be able to recover financial compensation from medical malpractice.
A nurse or doctor who fails to meet standards of care is deemed to be guilty of medical malpractice. In many states, this standard includes practicing within the confines of their education or training and experience. Because of their special training, medical specialists such as obstetricians, for instance, have higher standards.
Lawyers often seek proof of the quality of medical treatment from experts who can testify on behalf of clients. The experts may either look over the case files or take depositions of witnesses to help support claims of negligence.
Expert witnesses can identify between errors and malpractice. For example a mistake is an error that any reasonably competent and skilled medical professional could have made in the circumstances, but the error caused harm. The issue of malpractice is more serious matter and requires an intentional act or omission that results in harm. The majority of birth injury lawyers argue both theories to ensure victims get an adequate amount of compensation for their injuries.
A family may file a birth injury lawsuit against private parties, like obstetricians or hospitals, for negligent actions that result in a child's medical problems. Families may also file a wrongful-death claim if a severe birth injury results in a child's wrongful death.
Medical Records
It can be a challenge to submit a claim if or someone you know has been affected by an illness that was born. A medical malpractice and personal injury lawyer can help you gather the evidence and documentation required to increase your chances of winning financial compensation that is owed.
A successful claim for birth injury depends on establishing four key elements which include duty of care, breach of this duty; causation and damages. A competent lawyer will work with your family in order to establish these elements using medical documents and other evidence such as expert testimony.
In a case of medical malpractice an individual physician is generally liable for his or her actions within the scope of their employment. A hospital could be held vicariously responsible for the wrongful actions of its employees, as long as they were acting within the context of their employment.
If your child is injured depending on the severity of the injury, they may require medical or life-care throughout their lives. This could mean a lot of expenses, such as hospitalization or additional surgeries, medications such as home care, medical equipment, and other services.
A birth injury lawsuit can take years to resolve. However, an experienced legal team will expedite this process by reviewing all evidence and giving it to you as quickly as it is possible. A majority of birth injury lawyers provide free initial consultations, as well as contingency fee agreements, which means you do not pay any attorney's charges during the time that the lawsuit is pending as long as they get compensation for you.
Expert Witnesses
The medical expert witness provides important information to the judge and jury. The expert will review the case and determine what elements are crucial for clinical reasons. This allows the attorneys to better concentrate their arguments and only discuss the relevant aspects. The expert can also translate medical and scientific terminology into an easy to understand format for jurors.

Damages
