Frequently Asked Questions About Birth Related Injuries
Most cases start with a failure to recognize signs that the baby isn’t getting enough oxygen during delivery. This often involves misinterpretation of fetal monitor strips and delayed cesarean sections, leading to oxygen deprivation and potential brain damage, such as a traumatic brain injury.
Unlike other medical cases, birth injury cases generally have no strict statute of limitations when the child is mentally incompetent due to the injury. This means you can pursue a case even years after the birth if your child’s injuries result in mental impairment.
Birth injury cases have the potential to result in multi-million dollar settlements because they must cover lifetime care costs. The exact amount depends on factors like the extent of the injury, required care, and life expectancy. As an experienced birth injury law firm in Columbus, we evaluate your case based on the specific care needs of your child.
Legal action is often the only way to secure the financial resources needed to provide proper care and quality of life for your child. Without compensation, families face enormous financial burdens in providing necessary medical care, therapy, and support services throughout their child’s life.
Birth injury cases often involve catastrophic, lifetime injuries requiring extensive future care. These cases typically result in larger settlements due to the long-term care needs and impact on quality of life. Additionally, they often have different statute of limitations rules due to the child’s mental incapacity.
