We Will Handle Every Aspect of Your Birth Injury Case
When an obstetrician, nurse, or other medical practitioner commits malpractice, serious injuries can result to the baby, the mother, or both. A birth injury lawyer from Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. will help you seek justice and compensation for your injuries.
We will manage every aspect of the legal process, leaving you free to focus on your family and your or your baby’s recovery.
Investigating and Documenting Your Claim
We will conduct a thorough investigation and gather evidence to support your claim. This evidence may include:
- Photographs of your injuries
- Medical records and reports
- Witness statements
- Doctor or practitioner history
- Medical facility safety records
- Any prior complaints against the provider
We will also call on expert witnesses to provide their opinions to support your case. This will help us demonstrate fault and prove how the practitioner’s negligent actions caused or contributed to the injury.
Proving Fault and Liability for Birth Injury
To establish your case, we must identify the negligent party and prove the following:
Duty of Care: Medical practitioners have a duty to provide good and accepted care for their patients.
Breach of Duty: The practitioner failed to provide good and accepted care for their patient.
Causation: The practitioner’s negligence caused harm to the mother or baby.
Damages: You or your baby (or both) suffered economic, physical, and/or emotional damages.
Determining Birth Injury Damages
After identifying all liable parties and establishing how their negligence caused or contributed to the injury, we will calculate the value of your claim. To do so, we will collect documentation to support the specific damages you and your baby suffered.
Building a Persuasive Case
Once our legal team completes our investigation, we will use the information we gained to build the most robust possible case on your behalf. We will pursue a timely resolution to get you the compensation you need to get through this challenging time.
