When to Hire a Los Angeles Birth Injury Lawyer

Knowing when to take legal action over medical negligence is not always straightforward. You may feel as if you were to blame. You may not understand the medical technology well enough to know if a doctor was negligent. You may not even have been conscious when doctors made errors.

This is the most important reason to talk to a lawyer if your baby suffered birth injuries. Most offer free case evaluations. A lawyer will look over your case and determine if medical negligence was likely and if you have a strong case. They can then recommend your next steps and may offer to represent you.

It’s especially important to talk to a lawyer if your child’s injuries are severe and permanent and if you have major expenses. Your insurance may not be enough to cover the immediate costs or the costs of lifetime care. You need a lawyer to help you recover damages so that you can provide your child with the best care possible.

Examples of Los Angeles Birth Injury Lawyer Wins

Birth injury cases are notoriously complicated. Legal teams must prove that a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional breached a standard of care, resulting in harm to the mother and baby. They also often have to show that the hospital or medical center was negligent.

While no other case can determine the outcome for your situation, looking at past cases from Los Angeles can provide important insights. These examples of wins for clients show what the right, experienced lawyers can do for you:

• $17 Million Verdict for Brain Damage. Representing the largest such verdict in Los Angeles history at the time, lawyers helped their clients recover significant damages for their baby. When a doctor failed to respond to a baby’s troubling symptoms appropriately, the result was serious and lasting brain damage.
• $10.5 Million Settlement for Triplet Birth Injuries. Another major award resulted from a pre-trial settlement. Medical professionals misdiagnosed complications and improperly recommended a C-section for a set of triplets. One of the babies died as a result. The others suffered severe birth injuries.
• $7.1 Million Verdict for Premature Twins. This family won a significant jury award after their lawyers proved doctors delivered the babies too early. Delivered at just 30 weeks, they suffered brain damage. The legal team also uncovered evidence that the doctor altered medical records to cover up the mistake.
• $5.9 Million Settlement for Brain Damage. The doctors involved failed to recognize complications on the fetal monitor. As a result, they did not provide necessary interventions or deliver the baby early. The baby lost oxygen and suffered permanent brain damage.
• $3.8 Million Settlement for Delayed Delivery. A mother earned this large settlement after her baby suffered serious birth injuries. Her lawyers established that the injuries could have been prevented inf the doctors had not needlessly delayed providing a C-section to deliver the baby.

These are just a few examples of how Los Angeles birth injury lawyers help their clients get justice. If you and your child suffered because of a medical professional’s negligent actions, or inactions, contact an experienced lawyer. They will give you expert advice, provide guidance, and represent you in any legal actions.
