What You Need to Know

Find answers to common questions about birth malpractice, medical errors during delivery, and how a law firm can guide families through these difficult cases.

How Long After Birth Can You Sue for Malpractice?

This will depend on where you gave birth. Each state has its own timeline, also known as a statute of limitations. Your attorney will be able to provide you with the specific deadlines and help make sure you’re filing everything correctly.

How Do I Know if My Doctor Made a Mistake During Delivery?

This is a great question. It can be hard to know for sure. Physical injuries on the outside of the body will be easier to spot than anything internal. If something felt off during your care, like monitoring or communication, it’s time to have our attorneys look over the details of your case.

Can I Sue if My Baby Was Injured During Childbirth?

Yes, you can sue if your baby was injured during childbirth due to a medical mistake. If negligence from your doctor or other parties involved harmed your child, speak to our legal team. We’ll work with you to get the compensation you deserve.

Can I Still File a Labor and Delivery Claim if Symptoms Don't Show Up Right Away?

Yes. Some issues may take time to show up, and the law often allows for claims to be filed within a certain timeframe after discovering the injury. If you notice a change in your baby physically or a drastic behavior change, Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys can help you file a claim.

Who Can Be Held Responsible in a Birth Injury Case?

In a birth injury case, a few different parties can be held responsible, including the delivering doctor, nurses, and sometimes the hospital itself. If any of these parties failed to provide the proper care, they might be liable for the harm that took place. Our attorneys can provide more detailed information during your free case review.

What Should I Bring to My First Meeting with a Birth Malpractice Attorney?

It’s helpful to bring your medical records related to the delivery, including prenatal care notes and discharge papers. You should also bring any documents that explain your child’s injuries, as well as medical bills related to care.

You’ll want to write down your experience, including any concerns you raised during delivery. Have your birthing partner do the same. It also helps to have questions ready, so you can cover everything important to you. The more information our team has, the stronger your case will be.

What Kind of Compensation Can I Get from an Obstetric Lawsuit?

It depends on the details of your claim. Many people receive compensation for medical expenses (for both current and future care), pain and suffering, and even lost wages. You might also get costs covered for things like rehabilitation services, as well as transportation to appointments or adjustments for your home. Remember, insurance companies don’t want to pay more than the bare minimum and are hoping you’ll accept their first offer. Before you sign anything, have our attorneys look over the details of your settlement to ensure you’re getting every penny you deserve.
