When Does Hiring a Miami Birth Injury Lawyer Make Sense?

Hiring a lawyer is a big step. You may not be sure if it’s the right one for you. If you or your child, or both, suffered significant injuries and harm during childbirth, you may need a lawyer. Too often, birth injuries are preventable, negligent mistakes made by doctors and other hospital staff. They should be held accountable.

The best firms will never charge a fee to look over your situation and decide if you have a case. They should have the resources avaiable to take your case seriously without any fees until they win compensation for your child.

There is no cost and no obligation to you, so it is worth taking time to talk to a lawyer, especially if:

  • Your child’s birth injuries are serious and likely to be long-lasting or permanent.
  • The injuries will affect your child’s ability to be independent or will diminish their quality of life.
  • Your expenses related to the birth injuries are already high and expected to grow.
  • Your child will need lifelong treatment and care.
  • You cannot work and earn an income because you need to care for your child at home.
  • You have tried to make a claim with NICA, Florida’s program for compensating parents of birth-injured children but have not gotten what the system owes you.
  • An insurance representative from the hospital or your doctor has contacted you to sign something or offer compensation.

This situation is complicated and can be confusing if you have limited legal or medical expertise. Let a Miami birth injury lawyer provide advice. If you decide to take action, they can represent you and get you a better result.

How Miami Birth Injury Lawyers Help Real Clients

Miami birth injury lawyers can help you determine the appropriate action to take when the worst happens. They may be able to help you get maximum compensation through NICA, the state’s fund for babies with birth injuries. If appropriate, they may suggest a lawsuit to recover damages.

Lawyers helped the family of a pair of twins born in Coral Springs recover $9.8 million for severe birth injuries. They showed that staff at the medical center were negligent in failing to provide proper care to the newborns. As a result, one of the babies ended up with severe brain damage and serious disabilities that will require lifelong treatment and care.

In another seven-figure settlement for a young mother in South Florida, lawyers proved that hospital staff failed to give the attention needed during labor. The 23-year-old mother had serious complications, but doctors failed to secure a transfer to a bigger hospital. She and her baby needed specialized care they could not receive at the initial facility. The woman and her child both died, and the grandmother received the settlement.

Past results like these do not guarantee an outcome for your case, but they do show what experienced lawyers can do to help their clients. Birth injury and medical malpractice cases are complicated. You need true experts on your side in this situation. Contact Miami birth injury lawyers to get the best possible outcome for your child and family.
