Connecticut Birth Injuries - Litigation and Lawsuits

If you have reason to believe that your newborn is suffering from a birth injury (such as cerebral palsy) that was caused by medical malpractice, you need to consider your options carefully.  Connecticut birth injury litigation has many potential pitfalls.  If you are considering filing a lawsuit, an experienced Connecticut birth injury lawyer can help you to navigate the legal landscape in a number of ways, including:

• A Connecticut birth injury attorney can advise you regarding your child’s rights and compensation to which your family may be entitled.  In addition, an experienced attorney can help to see that your case is handled in a timely manner and can help you avoid costly mistakes.
• Children who suffer from birth injuries will often need a lifetime of care.  An experienced trial attorney will seek a financial recovery that provides enough money to cover the essentials of what your child will need to be as healthy as possible.  This may involve speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy as your child grows, and trust funds to help meet your child's needs after you are gone.  A seasoned birth injury attorney will have a long-term outlook in fighting for your child’s right to fair compensation.
• A doctor’s malpractice insurance company has a financial interest in minimizing the extent of your child’s birth injury.  The insurance company’s attorneys may argue in court that your child’s injuries were not caused by medical mistakes.  An experienced Connecticut birth injury law firm will carefully review medical records, fetal monitor strips and X-rays, interview witnesses, and consult with reliable independent medical experts to identify errors made by hospitals and physicians.

Although medical malpractice cases do sometimes go to trial, they can often be settled out of court through negotiations between parties.  A satisfactory out-of-court settlement can be more easily reached with the assistance of an attorney.
