Understanding the legal process helps families know what to expect. Our approach is thorough, transparent, and focused on maximizing your recovery. The process typically involves several key stages:
Initial Consultation: We begin with a free, confidential consultation to discuss your child’s injury, the circumstances of the birth, and your concerns about medical care. This conversation helps us determine whether medical negligence occurred. Contact us today to schedule your free consultation.
Case Evaluation with Medical Experts: We retain qualified medical experts—often obstetricians, pediatricians, or specialists in your child’s specific injury—to review medical records and determine whether the standard of care was breached.
Investigation and Evidence Gathering: We obtain complete medical records, hospital policies, delivery room documentation, and any available video or audio recordings. We interview witnesses and identify all potentially liable parties, including hospitals, physicians, and nursing staff.
Expert Witness Retention: If the case proceeds, we retain expert witnesses who will testify about the standard of care, how it was breached, and how the breach caused your child’s injury. These experts are critical to proving medical malpractice.
Demand Letter and Negotiation: We prepare a detailed demand letter presenting our evidence and legal arguments to the liable parties’ insurance companies. We then negotiate aggressively to reach a fair settlement that covers all of your child’s needs.
Settlement or Trial Preparation: Most cases settle during negotiation. If settlement discussions fail, we prepare thoroughly for trial, knowing we have the resources and experience to present your case effectively before a jury.
Throughout this process, we work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and we only receive payment if we recover compensation for you.
