Will we have to go to court?
The great majority of birth injury cases settle before reaching a courtroom. We prepare every case as if it is going to trial, which allows us to negotiate from a position of strength. Our goal is to secure a fair settlement that fully provides for your child’s needs, but we are always ready for trial if that is what it takes.
Can we still file a claim if we signed consent forms at the hospital?
Yes. A consent form is not a waiver for medical negligence. You consent to the known and disclosed risks of a medical procedure, not to substandard care that falls below the accepted professional standard.
What if we don’t know for sure what caused our child’s injury?
That is our job to find out. You don’t need to have all the answers before calling a lawyer. You only need to have a reasonable concern that a mistake was made. We will conduct a thorough investigation, supported by medical professionals, to determine what happened and why.
