What Causes Birth Injuries?

Birth injuries can occur for various reasons, often as a result of a medical professional’s negligence. These injuries can happen before, during, or after the birth, and they can have a long-term impact on the child’s life.

Some common causes of birth injuries include:

Failure to diagnose a medical condition in the mother: If a medical professional fails to diagnose a condition in the mother, it can lead to complications during birth, resulting in injury.
Failure to diagnose a medical condition in the child: Similarly, if a condition in the child is not diagnosed, it can cause complications during birth.
Failure to take the mother’s medical history: A mother’s medical history plays a critical role in the birthing process. Lack of awareness about potential complications can lead to injury.
Failure to monitor the baby’s heart rate: A failure to monitor crucial indicators like the baby’s heart rate can lead to serious injury.
Failure to order a C-section: When necessary, a C-section can prevent injuries. Not ordering one in time can be considered negligence.
Improper use of delivery tools: Misuse of tools intended to assist in delivery can result in injury.

How Can a Birth Injury Attorney Help?

If your child has sustained a birth injury, you may feel overwhelmed. Facing significant medical expenses and feeling uncertain about what to do next can be incredibly challenging. A birth injury attorney can guide you through the legal process and help recover the compensation your family is entitled to.

Some of the ways an attorney can help you with your birth injury claim include:

Conducting a thorough investigation: To determine if you have a valid birth injury claim, an attorney will need to conduct a thorough investigation. This investigation may require reviewing the medical records, interviewing witnesses, and consulting with experts. An attorney will be able to handle all of these tasks on your behalf.
Determining liability: In order to recover compensation in a birth injury claim, you will need to prove that another party was liable for your child’s injury. This can be difficult to do, as there may be multiple parties who are liable. An attorney will be able to help you determine who is liable for your child’s injury and what type of claim you should file.

Filing a claim: If you decide to move forward with your birth injury claim, you will need to file a legal document known as a “complaint.” The complaint will outline the details of your claim and what type of compensation you are seeking. An attorney will be able to help you draft this document and ensure that it is filed correctly.
Negotiating a settlement: In many cases, birth injury claims can be settled outside of the courtroom. This means that you and the at-fault party will negotiate a settlement. An attorney will be able to help you negotiate a fair settlement and ensure that your rights are protected.
Representing you in court: If you are unable to reach a settlement agreement, your case will go to court. An attorney will be able to represent you in court and present your case in the best possible light.

At Grewal Law, our Grand Rapids birth injury attorneys are committed to helping families recover the compensation they are owed. We have extensive experience handling birth injury claims, and we are not afraid to take a case to court if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Do if I Suspect a Birth Injury?

Suspecting a birth injury can be distressing, and it is important to act promptly. Seek immediate medical evaluation for your child to identify and document the injury. Keep comprehensive records of all medical visits, diagnoses, and communications with healthcare providers. It is also beneficial to consult with a birth injury attorney as soon as possible to discuss your observations and understand your legal options. Early legal consultation with Grewal Law PLLC helps ensure that critical evidence is preserved and that your case is built on a strong foundation.

How Long Does a Birth Injury Case Take?

The timeframe for resolving a birth injury case can vary based on its complexity and the willingness of parties to settle. In Grand Rapids, once a claim is filed, discovery can take several months to a year or more. Trials or mediation further extend this timeline. While Grewal Law PLLC prioritizes an efficient resolution, it is also essential that each aspect of your case is thoroughly investigated to maximize your compensation potential. We provide transparent communication about potential timelines and keep you informed throughout the process.

What Compensation Might Be Available for Birth Injuries?

Compensation in birth injury cases aims to cover both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and future care needs for the injured child. Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering and emotional distress caused to the affected family. In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded if egregious negligence is proven. At Grewal Law PLLC, we meticulously assess all potential areas of compensation, ensuring that the full impact of the injury is represented in your claim.
