Birth Injury FAQ

Mobile Birth Injury Attorney

When a child has suffered brain damage in the birth process, how much can be expected in compensation for damages?

It is impossible to legally advise regarding compensatory damages without having the full details of the incident, as in many cases a brain injury has come about through another contributing factor. What is most urgent is that you have the case fully reviewed by an experienced Mobile birth injury lawyer. If it is determined that negligence or lack of proper care resulted in serious damage to the child, it is likely that the claim for damages will be extremely high value. From the point of view of the future of the child, the needed care, and the reduced quality of life, the lawsuit or claim must reflect all aspects of the injury, including upon the parents in many cases. Get your case reviewed by the legal team at the Law Office of Timothy A. Hughes quickly.

How can we know if our child was injured due to negligence?

If you feel that negligence may have occurred, you should contact the firm at once. The process of determining whether negligence is involved may include an independent investigation by an expert in order to determine what and how the injury occurred. The legal team at the firm can discuss this with you.

How long do we have to file a lawsuit against a doctor or hospital?

In the state of Alabama, you have 2 years from the time of the incident in which to file a claim. This can be a fairly short window of time for a parent, as the injury may not have become apparent until the child becomes a little older. It is important to move quickly if you discover that your child has cerebral palsy, brain damage or other injury that could have come about through negligence during the birth process.
