Birth Injury Lawyer St. Amant, LA

Childbirth is usually a joyful and exciting time, but even with all the advancements in modern medicine, there is still a risk for both mother and baby. A mistake during a C-section, improper monitoring of the baby during labor, or improper administration of medication can all lead to a devastating birth injury that can cause lifelong complications for the baby or impact the mother’s future ability to bear children. Birth injuries that result in permanent disability can easily cost over a million dollars for treatment throughout the child’s life—a financial burden many families are ill-equipped to carry.

Our St. Amant, LA birth injury lawyer can help you file a claim for medical malpractice and demand compensation for the full cost of medical treatment for the mother, baby, or both.

How Can A St. Amant Birth Injury Lawyer Help Me?

Childbirth is usually a busy and chaotic time, and this gets worse when things start going wrong. Determining whether to have an emergency C-section or dealing with other complications makes mistakes more likely. It can be difficult to discern whether a mistake is just that, a mistake or unfortunate circumstance, or if the birth injury was due to negligence or poor training. As your medical malpractice attorney, it’s our job to sort through the chaos and establish liability.

We gather evidence to prove that negligence and oversight led to the birth injury, including having a medical expert analyze your medical records, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing other practical facts to build a case against the responsible party or parties. Often, the facility where the labor and delivery occurred may be partly liable for the harm caused to the mother or baby, and we’ll hold them responsible, too. Our goal is to secure fair compensation for current and future medical care and other losses.

Compensation In Birth Injury Cases

Birth injury claims are complicated, especially when you’re estimating the lifetime cost of care for a disabled child. Depending on the degree of disability, a baby may never grow to be able to live independently or care for themselves. If the injury is to the mother and affects her fertility, the value of those damages can be complicated to quantify. We properly value your claim so it covers all applicable material losses, as well as consideration for the pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and other intangible losses.

Your child may require a caregiver or accommodations in a skilled nursing facility or group home. Or, you may require modifications to your home and vehicle to accommodate a disability caused by a birth injury. Your settlement or jury award can help provide the means to give your child high-quality medical and personal care.
