What You Need To Know About A Birth Injury Lawsuit
Christopher Wilson
Sadly, many people experience traumatic experiences with the birth of a child. There may be complications that result in an injury to either the child or the mother. If you have experienced something like this, you might be wondering if you have grounds to file a lawsuit. Here are some things that you need to know about filing a birth injury lawsuit.
1. You Must Mitigate The Damage As Much As Possible
It is important to do everything that you can to make sure that you have the best outcome possible. Traumatic events happen, and in some cases there is nothing you can do about them, but in other cases you could do something to make it better. For instance, if you choose to have a home birth without a certified medical professional present and something goes wrong, then you go to the hospital; you may not be able to file a lawsuit against the doctor. They could argue that you assumed the risk of a home birth and did not properly mitigate the problem by being so far from a medical profession, so they cannot be held responsible for any unfavorable outcome.
In addition, if during the event the doctor advises you to do something, and you did not do it and it resulted in problems for you or the baby, or made the problem worse, they could also argue against the lawsuit. Instead, you need to have done everything that you could to ensure the safety of you and your child to have grounds for a lawsuit.
2. The Doctor Must Have Been Going Against Protocol or Negligent
Another important aspect of a medical malpractice lawsuit is to be able to prove that the medical professional went against protocol and was negligent in your care. For example, if when the traumatic event started the doctor did everything that they could to fix the problem, if they followed protocol given by the hospital and if they did what any other doctor would have done, you have no lawsuit. It is when the doctor acted in a way that was contrary to what a reasonable doctor would have done that you have grounds for a suit. In addition, if the doctor performed a service when they shouldn't have, like if they were on drugs, intoxicated, or unqualified, then you could have grounds for a suit.
By understanding these things you can determine if you have grounds for a birth injury lawsuit.
