The birth of a child is a moment to cherish and celebrate, but when medical professionals make preventable mistakes, a family’s future can be permanently altered.

The first step in pursuing financial compensation is to prove that the doctor or hospital’s actions fell below the accepted standard of care. This requires a thorough review of the medical records and the hiring of qualified experts to analyze the evidence and identify policies or procedures that may have been violated.

If successful, a family could receive compensation for current and future medical expenses, loss of income resulting from having to reduce work hours or leave employment, future care costs and other non-economic damages. While no amount of money can reverse the damage caused by the negligent actions of medical personnel, it can help ease some of the stress and hardship for the family and provide them with the resources they need to ensure a brighter future.
