Where Does Liability Fall in a Birth Injury Case?
Liability in a birth injury case may fall on various parties, depending on the circumstances. Potentially liable parties include:
- Healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, midwives)
- Hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities.
- Pharmaceutical companies (if the case involves the wrong medication, dosage, or anything along those lines)
To determine liability, your attorney will review the actions and decisions of those involved in the childbirth process.
Is Birth Injury the Same as Birth Defects?
Birth injuries and birth defects are not the same thing. On one hand, birth injuries result from complications or trauma during childbirth. These injuries mostly occur due to medical negligence. Birth defects, on the other hand, are typically present at or before birth, arising from genetic factors, environmental influences, or unknown causes.
Can I Sue for Birth Defects?
It's possible for a birth defect to derive from medical negligence. Take, for example, a situation where the pregnant parent took a medication during pregnancy but wasn't properly informed about the risks involved in taking the said medication. If it harms the child, then legal action might be possible.
What Are the Long-Term Effects of a Birth Injury?
Serious birth injuries can lead to long-term effects such as developmental delays, cognitive, impairment, motor skill deficiencies, and emotional and behavioral challenges. Children with these injuries may require ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, and support throughout their lives, which is often stressful and expensive.
Don't Settle for Less; Your Case Could Be Worth More
When a birth injury happens to your loved one, you should never talk to the other party about a settlement without involving a specialist. The only reason the other party may want to settle quickly is to prevent you from hiring a Dallas birth injury lawyer to fight for you.
