How Our Birth Injury Attorneys Help
Our Chicago birth injury lawyers can discuss your potential legal options during a free consultation.
During your consultation, medical records from labor and delivery will help us identify what legal options may exist. We will review all of the medical records required for us to determine whether you may have a claim. During this process, our birth injury lawyers may hire medical experts to provide eventual testimony. If we receive positive support from our medical experts, we will be able to file a claim on your behalf.
Many lawsuits settle before going to trial, however a jury trial may be necessary. Hiring an attorney can increase the chances of successfully recovering compensation.
Our Chicago birth injury attorneys have extensive experience with birth injury lawsuits. You can learn more about our experience and birth injury lawsuit settlements by exploring our website.
We Help Identify Options You May Have for a Birth Injury Lawsuit
States have varying rules on birth injury claims. Our Chicago birth injury attorneys can help determine the rules for filing a lawsuit in your state, including if:
- you are within the statute of limitations. States set a statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits, including for medical malpractice. You only have a limited amount of time to file a claim. Once you pass the statute of limitations, you may be unable to pursue compensation against the entities responsible for your damages.
- malpractice caused your child’s injury. Medical providers responsible for your care, such as an obstetrician or hospital, must provide services within the accepted standard of care. Our attorneys work with medical experts who can help establish whether your provider’s actions did not fall within the accepted standard of care.
Each case is different. If your child suffered a birth injury and you believe negligence occurred, do not wait to talk to a lawyer.
Speak with a birth injury lawyer if you want to learn more about seeking legal action for your child’s injury. We take cases nationwide and can explain how the laws in your state could affect your potential case.

We Help Identify What Compensation May be Awarded to You

- Non-economic damages include damages that relate to pain and suffering caused by the birth injury. Some states place caps on non-economic damages. Non-economic damages are also called “pain and suffering damages.”
