Frequently Asked Questions About Birth Injury Cases

Our personal injury attorney team answers common questions about birth injury cases:

Understanding Birth Injuries

How do I know if my child's condition was caused by medical negligence?

Not all birth injuries result from negligence, but warning signs include unexpected emergency procedures, sudden changes in delivery plans, oxygen deprivation, physical trauma during birth, or staff failing to respond to fetal distress. Our medical experts can review your case to determine if negligence occurred.

What types of birth injuries might result from medical negligence?

Preventable birth injuries include cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy (brachial plexus injuries), hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (brain damage from oxygen deprivation), skull fractures, spinal cord injuries, and facial paralysis. Some injuries are immediately apparent, while others may not be diagnosed until developmental delays become evident.

Who can be held responsible for a birth injury?

Potentially liable parties include obstetricians, nurses, anesthesiologists, midwives, medical facilities, pharmaceutical companies, and medical device manufacturers. We investigate all possible sources of negligence to identify every responsible party.

Legal Process & Timeline

How long do birth injury cases typically take to resolve?

Birth injury cases are complex and generally take 1-3 years to reach resolution, depending on case complexity, the extent of injuries, and whether settlement is possible. We work diligently to move your case forward while ensuring we secure the full compensation your child deserves.

Will my child's case go to trial?

While many cases settle through negotiation, birth injury claims often involve substantial damages that insurance companies resist paying. We prepare every case thoroughly for trial, which actually improves settlement offers and ensures we’re ready if courtroom advocacy becomes necessary.

Fees & Representation

What is your fee structure for birth injury cases?

We work on contingency – you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee comes as a percentage of the recovery, ensuring our interests align with securing maximum compensation for your child’s future.

Case Evaluation & Compensation

Is there a time limit for filing a birth injury lawsuit in Texas?

Yes, typically you have two years from the date of the injury or from when you reasonably should have discovered the injury to file a claim. For children, the statute of limitations may be extended, but it’s crucial to consult an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your rights.

What compensation might my child receive for a birth injury?

Compensation may include coverage for past and future medical expenses, therapy costs, specialized equipment, home modifications, educational assistance, pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, and potentially punitive damages in cases of gross negligence.

How can I afford the ongoing care my child needs while waiting for a legal resolution?

We can help connect you with financial assistance programs, special needs resources, and medical financing options while your case progresses. We also work to expedite fair settlements whenever possible without compromising the value of your claim.

Specialized Practice Questions

How do you determine the lifetime costs of caring for a child with birth injuries?

We work with life care planners, medical specialists, economists, and education experts to project the full spectrum of your child’s needs throughout their lifetime. This includes medical care, therapies, adaptive equipment, housing accommodations, educational support, and potential lost earnings.
