BIRTH INJURY ATTORNEY IN INDIANAPOLIS

After a birth injury, you can typically claim damages such as medical expenses, ongoing treatment costs, pain and suffering, lost earning capacity, and other related expenses. When you contact us for a free case evaluation, a birth injury specialist from our team will review the specifics of your case to determine the damages you may be entitled to.

Compensation for such cases usually goes to the injured child and their family. This covers their medical and other related expenses, such as child care, resulting from the birth injury.

Healthcare providers and institutions are required by law to have some form of insurance to protect them against such claims. If you win your case, compensation is often issued by the responsible party's insurance company.

It depends on the complexity of the case. Some cases, particularly where liability is undisputed, may be resolved relatively quickly, usually out of court. On the other hand, if there are questions regarding liability or the other party simply won't cooperate, your lawyer may decide to pursue a lawsuit, which could take longer.

Several factors can influence the value of your claim, including but not limited to the severity of the birth injury, long-term care needs, future medical expenses, and the impact on the child's quality of life.

You should seek legal counsel as soon as possible after a birth injury occurs. That helps in preserving evidence, building a strong case, and ensuring you meet any legal deadlines for filing a claim (while also leaving room for a possible lawsuit).

Birth injury cases are very complicated. The last thing you want is to face the other party without a competent Indianapolis birth injury lawyer. At Morgan and Morgan, these cases are not new to us; we've won huge settlements and verdicts, including a $38 million award for a birth injury victim.
