When Do I Need a Chicago Birth Injury Lawyer?
If your child has significant injuries or brain damage resulting from childbirth complications, you need a birth injury lawyer. Not all cases of birth injury are negligent, but many are. Only a lawyer experienced in this type of case can determine if you have a case and if you should sue for damages.
You may not be sure what to do next, which is why you need a lawyer. Reputable firms never charge a fee to look over your case and provide advice. If you decide to hire them, the right lawyer can do several things for you and your child:
- Clarify your options and explain the laws and your legal rights
- Provide experts to investigate the incident and find proof of negligence
- Represent you in any discussions of a settlement and compensation
- Litigate on your behalf in court for a jury award
- Maximize the amount of compensation you get for your child’s current and future expenses
Chicago Birth Injury Verdicts and Settlements
When deciding to take legal action over your baby’s birth injuries, it may help to see real examples from the area. Of course, every case is different, and these cannot predict your outcome, but they show you what the right lawyer and firm can do:
- $35 Million Settlement for Delayed Delivery. A mother gave birth to a baby with serious brain damage that resulted in spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and other complications. Her lawyers argued that the doctors should have delivered the baby sooner due to abnormalities on the fetal heart rate monitor. The settlement set a record in Illinois at the time.
- $21 Million Settlement for Brain Damage and Wrongful Death. In a tragic case, the mother died, and her baby suffered permanent brain damage with lifelong disabilities. The family’s legal team showed that the medical staff should have done more to correct the mother’s low blood pressure and to deliver the baby sooner.
- $19 Million for Cerebral Palsy. A baby suffered brain damage and now has cerebral palsy and a seizure disorder because a midwife and doctor delayed delivery. The mother had gestational diabetes and other complications that indicated a serious risk to her and the baby. The medical professionals should have ordered a C-section or induced labor sooner.
- $18 Million for Severe Brain Injury. Nurses and doctors failed to diagnose preeclampsia in a mother laboring to deliver her baby at Trinity Hospital. She suffered a seizure, and the baby suffered a loss of oxygen to the brain for more than 30 minutes. As a result, the child will never be independent.
Consider contacting Chicago birth injury lawyers if your child is now disabled, thanks to a doctor’s mistakes. The right lawyers will fight for justice on behalf of your child. They will help you recover the compensation you need to give your child the best care.
