Do You Have a Case?

Figuring out if you have to file a birth injury lawsuit in New York comes down to looking at a few important things. These help determine if medical malpractice happened and if you can seek compensation.

Here’s what you should know:

  • Duty of Care: Healthcare providers, such as doctors, nurses, and medical staff, are required by law to provide a certain standard of care to their patients. This "duty of care" means that medical professionals must act with the level of skill and caution that a reasonably competent provider would use under similar circumstances.
  • Breach of Duty: To have a case, you must show that the healthcare provider breached this duty of care. A breach occurs when the medical professional fails to act according to the expected standards, whether through negligence, error, or omission. If this breach directly contributed to your child's birth injury, it becomes a critical factor in your case.
  • Causation: Causation is the link between the breach of duty and the injury sustained. It must be proven that the healthcare provider's actions (or inactions) directly caused your child’s injury.
  • Damages: Finally, you must demonstrate that the injury led to specific damages. Damages can include medical expenses, long-term care costs, pain and suffering, and other financial and emotional impacts. The more significant and demonstrable these damages, the stronger your case will be.

You may have a valid birth injury case if you believe these elements are present. Consulting with a knowledgeable New York birth injury lawyer from our firm can help you understand your legal options and the potential for seeking compensation.

Damages You Can Recover

If your child has suffered a birth injury due to medical malpractice, you may be entitled to various types of compensation. These damages are meant to help cover the costs and hardships of such an injury.

Here’s a breakdown of what you could recover:

Economic Damages

Economic damages cover the financial costs directly related to the injury. This can include medical bills, rehabilitation, therapy, and any future medical care your child might need. It also covers lost wages if you’ve had to take time off work to care for your child and any necessary modifications to your home or vehicle to accommodate your child's needs.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are more subjective and cover the emotional and psychological impact of the injury, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and the effect on your family’s overall quality of life. These damages recognize that the impact of a birth injury goes beyond just financial costs.

Punitive Damages

In some cases, you might also be awarded punitive damages to punish the healthcare provider for particularly reckless or egregious behavior. Punitive damages are less common but can be significant in cases where the provider's actions were especially harmful.

Understanding the full scope of damages you might be entitled to is vital in ensuring you get the compensation your family deserves.

Consulting with an experienced New York birth injury attorney can help you maximize your recovery.
