When Should I Contact a Lawyer?

As soon as you believe that your child may have been injured as a result of the birthing process, you should contact a lawyer immediately. There are what is called a statute of limitations in each state. There are different statutes for each state, which gives you the time that you are able to pursue a birth injury case. There are also different statutes for wrongful death claims, if your child loses their life as a result of malpractice. The statutes sometimes is even less than the ability to bring a medical malpractice lawsuit. So, you want to contact an experienced birth injury lawyer as soon as you believe that you potentially have a birth injury claim.
