Why You Need a Michigan Birth Injury Lawyer

There are many reasons why you should consult with an attorney about your legal rights.

Peace of Mind

If your child has a birth injury, it may have been caused by medical malpractice. You owe it to your child and your family to see if the real cause of your child’s condition can be determined. If our office pursues a claim on your family's behalf, you can be assured that we will obtain all relevant medical records, review all documentation, and consult with leading medical experts to determine definitively whether a medical professional's negligence caused your child's condition.

The Lifelong Cost of Caring for Your Child

The cost of caring for a child who suffers from birth injuries can be financially catastrophic. A family can expect significant expenses throughout the child's lifetime, because the condition may not improve over time. This is an extreme hardship for most families, who are already struggling with the emotional circumstances created by the responsibility of caring for a severely injured child. If the child's condition is determined to be the fault of a hospital or physician, then there should be medical malpractice insurance in place to provide financial compensation for these costs.

Professional Legal Evaluation of Your Claim

Proving any type of medical malpractice case is a complicated process, and this is certainly true of a claim on behalf of a child with birth injury. It may take an attorney hundreds of hours to gather all of the documentation, make a determination, and file the appropriate claim on your child's behalf. You need a Michigan lawyer who is well versed in the complicated laws that govern these actions.

Maximize the Value of Your Child's Claim

A study indicated that injured parties represented by legal counsel obtain far greater recoveries than those individuals who attempt to represent their own interests. Once we gather the necessary data, and determine the extent of the injury, we will know the best way to proceed and the range of value of your claim.
