Birth injury lawsuits Baltimore, MD

A birth injury lawsuit: what is it?

When a newborn is harmed as a result of medical malpractice prior to, during, or soon after delivery, parents or guardians may pursue a birth injury case. Serious injuries including brain damage, cerebral palsy, nerve injuries, or developmental delays occur when medical professionals—such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals—fail to meet the recognized level of care. Holding careless medical professionals liable and obtaining monetary damages for the child's medical need, continuing therapy, and future care are the goals of a birth injury case. Attorneys look into medical records, speak with medical professionals, and collect evidence in birth injury cases to demonstrate that the injury might have been avoided with appropriate medical care. The money awarded in these cases may be used to pay for future wages loss, pain and suffering, rehabilitation expenses, and hospital expenditures. Families may also pursue compensation for psychological suffering brought on by the injury's trauma. Our skilled birth injury attorneys at Blank Kim Injury Law in Baltimore, MD, are committed to guiding families through these challenging situations. 

In Maryland, how long do I have to bring a birth injury claim?

The statute of limitations, or the amount of time you have to bring a birth injury claim in Maryland, is determined by a number of variables. Parents typically have three years from the day they learned—or should have learned—that a birth damage resulted from medical malpractice. However, there are additional particular regulations for minors under Maryland law. In most cases, a lawsuit for a birth injury must be brought before the kid is eleven. The duration could be longer if the damage involves a foreign object that was left inside the body. It's crucial to realize that since each case is different, figuring out the precise filing deadline might be challenging. When the clock starts to run can be impacted by vague indications of medical negligence or delays in diagnosis. You may never be able to get compensation for long-term care costs, medical bills, and mental distress if you miss the statute of limitations. It's critical to speak with a Maryland birth accident lawyer as soon as you suspect negligence because of these tight deadlines.
