What should you do if you believe your child’s birth injury resulted from obstetrical malpractice?

The law allows medical professionals to make honest mistakes. Sometimes, however, they cross the line and act irresponsibly in a negligent manner. In those situations, you may have a legal claim that entitles you to compensation for your child’s injuries.

We believe in always being forthcoming with clients. The truth is birth-related medical malpractice can be costly and difficult to prove. It’s imperative that you receive assistance from attorneys with financial resources and a proven track record.

Since birth injury lawyers only collect their contingency fee from your final settlement value when you win, you can afford the best available – even if you don’t have a single cent to pay them right now.

Is your doctor responsible for your child’s birth injuries?

It’s an absolute injustice when you don’t have the healthy child you were promised. You wait nearly 9 months with nervous excitement.

Did you find out the gender? Will it be a surprise? What’s it going to be like to be new parents, or parents again for the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time?

Then the unexpected, the scenario you fear worst happens. Your child sustains a birth injury that will impact the child every single day for the rest of their life.

Was your doctor responsible? Or were these injuries unavoidable?

In truth, medical malpractice claims are the most difficult of all personal injury claims to prove.

Why is it so Hard To Prove Medical Malpractice?

In a nutshell, this is because the burden of proof is on the patient. It usually takes a slew of witness testimony from retained experts to establish liability. Securing necessary expert testimony often costs tens of thousands of dollars or more. An initial review of relevant medical records, however, can indicate if you may ultimately be successful establishing medical negligence.

Let’s assume initial records provide a reasonable suspicion errors or omissions were made.

To Prove Medical Malpractice, You Must Show 3 Things

1. That the medical provider acted negligently (They acted unreasonably, doing something no other medical professional would do in the same situation). Note this is different than making a mistake. Medical providers are allowed mistakes under the law.
2. Once you show negligence, you must then show the negligent actions caused your child’s birth injuries. If your doctor was negligent, but his actions did not cause your child harm, you have no case.
3. If your doctor had not act negligently, your child would not have experienced their birth injuries.

Since medical malpractice claims have a high burden of legal and scientific proof – and because they are so costly – most Dallas personal injury lawyers only accept these cases if they are very clear-cut and your damages exceed the high-costs associated with litigating these cases. This usually means your child experiences a catastrophic and permanent injury like brain damage, paralysis, mental disability, organ failure, or even death.

Unfortunately, due to the changes in Texas medical malpractice law, even some individuals with valid claims won’t be able to find counsel willing to assist them. It really is an unfair that the legislature made it so incredibly difficult for patients to pursue these cases.

There is some good news, though.

Mullen & Mullen Law Firm in Dallas offers free consultations, so it costs you nothing to find out if you have a valid and actionable birth injury claim.

What should you look for in a birth injury attorney?

Obstetricians make mistakes. Sometimes they just happen.

When an obstetrician acts in an unreasonable way that no other obstetrician normally would under the same or similar circumstances, the law entitles you to compensation.

Obviously, no amount of money can ever truly compensate you or your child for a permanent and life-altering injury. No amount of money can reverse the brain damage or other injuries your baby experienced.

Recovering funds you are entitled to can, however, help you pay for the medical services, therapy, and emotional harm you and your child suffered as a result of their medical malpractice.

When the stakes are that high, you need to retain attorneys who have the financial resources to go against deep-pocked hospital systems and insurance companies. Attorneys who have the knowledge, skills, and experience to protect your child.
