Birth Injury Attorney in Manhattan

In a birth injury case, you can typically claim damages that may include medical expenses, ongoing medical care, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, loss of future earning capacity, and any other related expenses or losses incurred due to the birth injury. The specific damages you can claim may vary based on the circumstances and severity of the injury, and that's one of the things we can help you figure out if you have a viable claim.

Liability can fall on multiple parties, including but not limited to healthcare providers such as doctors, nurses, and hospitals. Pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers might also bear a certain degree of responsibility for the birth injury. That said, the unique circumstances of your case will ultimately decide who should be liable. 

Yes, it's usually advisable to hire not just any lawyer but a skilled negotiator, even if the other party is willing to settle your birth injury claim. The right lawyer can help ensure that the settlement offer is fair and adequate to cover your present and future needs, including medical expenses, long-term care needs, tuition, and other related costs.  

Negligence is a crucial element in such cases, and without clear evidence to support your claim, it may be difficult to establish liability. That said, an experienced attorney from our team can help review the facts of your case and establish whether the other party deviated from the acceptable standards of care and the kind of evidence required to prove this element. If you have a viable claim, we can use our resources to help you gather the evidence you need to establish liability.
