The birth of a child should be a moment to celebrate, but it can be disastrous for families when an error during labor and delivery causes serious birth injuries. If you believe that your family’s medical providers were responsible for a loved one’s serious injuries, you need an experienced and knowledgeable Birth injury claim lawyer in Seattle to help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
In a birth injury case, you must prove that your doctor owed you and your child a legal duty of care. A doctor owes a duty of care to provide quality medical services that are consistent with recognized standards in your community. You must also prove that the doctor breached this duty of care and that this breach directly caused your child’s birth injury.
Serious birth injuries like cerebral palsy often require lifelong treatment and ongoing medical care. The costs associated with this care can be extremely high, and a successful lawsuit may allow your family to recover damages for past and future medical expenses as well as noneconomic losses such as pain and suffering.
An attorney can determine whether a medical professional violated the standard of care by reviewing the medical records and the evidence from your case. They can then help you file a claim against the appropriate defendants, including doctors, hospitals, and even government agencies.
A qualified Seattle birth injury lawyer can help you gather the necessary evidence to prove your claim, and they will also be familiar with how medical malpractice cases are handled in your state. The laws and procedures vary, so you should only choose an attorney with experience handling this type of litigation in your area.
