The Medical Malpractice Claims Process and What We Can Do For You
Well some deliveries are straightforward, others require a great deal of care and precision. Whether the doctor who performed your delivery was new in the field, or had been practicing for decades, they had a duty of care to provide a high standard of said medical care before, during, and after the delivery of your child. A violation of this standard of care, when the negligent act led to an injury or death, is grounds for a medical malpractice claim, or lawsuit. We assist parents by investigating the cause of the injury or wrongful death, compiling medical records and evidence, and filing claims with the appropriate parties. Once a medical malpractice claim has been filed, the at fault party And their insurance carrier will likely deny fault. Or, they may come back with a significantly lower financial compensation offer than you deserve. While no amount of money can erase the harm that was caused to your child, or you, compensation can go a long way in righting the wrong by ensuring that you are not financially harmed due to medical bills, lost working wages, and other expenses incurred by the doctor or hospital’s negligence.
