Statistics show that approximately 27 of every 1000 births in the United States
results in a birth injury. In the State of California there are approximately
1500 babies born each and every day. According to the statistics, 40 babies
a day are born in California with some type of birth injury.
An experienced birth injury attorney should be consulted immediately after
birth if your infant has suffered a birth trauma and you suspect those injuries
were caused by medical negligence. Unfortunately, doctors and hospitals will
almost never admit fault or offer to pay reasonable damages to cover even the
likely economic loss from an injury. A birth injury attorney can help with an
appropriate discovery to know whether there is a case or not.
Therefore, it is extremely crucial to consult an experienced birth injury attorney
early because records and other information that are important to knowing whether
negligence occurred might be lost over time. Frequently hospitals and doctors
will destroy or lose records within months of the delivery. Also, important
witnesses such as nurses and therapists will forget details or move, making
it difficult to recover essential facts. Further, almost any time there is a
bad result to a patient, the hospital personnel and doctors will meet with their
own lawyers to begin formulating a strategy to defend any potential case. Time
is an important ally to both sides.
If your child or relative has suffered a birth injury, he or she deserves a
chance to live the best life possible given the circumstances of the birth.
