What should I do if I have a birth injury?

Your state’s statute of limitations dictates when you will be able to file your claim for birth injury, so your lawyer can investigate your case and help you file it promptly. Under this law, you have a limited time to file a lawsuit. If your claim is filed within the deadlines set by your state, a birth injury attorney can assist you. A birth injury lawyer should be contacted as soon as possible if you are considering filing a lawsuit.

What is the cost of hiring a birth injury lawyer?

Generally, personal injury attorneys work on a contingency basis without charging upfront fees. Only if you win your case and receive financial compensation will you have to pay your birth injury attorney.

What is the percentage my lawyer receives from the settlement?

It is typical for your birth injury attorney to take an amount based on your settlement or verdict as a percentage of what you earn. Whether your lawyer will receive a fee even if you are not awarded compensation is something you need to ask before they handle your case.

What is the maximum compensation I can expect?

The amount of assistance you could get from your litigation can vary because every situation is unique. Knowledgeable birth injury attorneys can estimate the child’s future medical expenses, which affects the value of the case. Your attorney will work to get you the best possible settlement or court judgment.
