Our dedicated team has extensive experience in handling child brain injuries. We combine legal expertise with compassion, aiming to secure the best possible outcome for you and your family.

If you suspect that another person, business, or governmental entity is responsible for your child's injury, you and your child may have the right to receive compensation for various elements, including past, current, and future medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning potential, specialized medical equipment, pain, suffering, loss of companionship, and long-term care.

The Child Brain Injury Law Center is particularly skilled in uncovering hidden misconduct. Even if the causes and circumstances of your child's injury seem unclear, human misconduct, defective products, or faulty business or governmental operations may have created harmful conditions. We specialize in identifying these factors and obtaining compensation for you and your child.

In many cases, you may feel uncomfortable blaming someone or confronting a powerful entity for what appears to be a mistake or accident. However, when the facts are uncovered, we often discover that other people, businesses, or governmental entities acted with misconduct or below the normal standards of care. Oftentimes, the case is not against the individual or company directly but rather against their insurance carrier, which has the resources to fully compensate you and your child.

Even if you or your child are partially responsible, you may still be eligible for compensation if another person, business, or organization also contributed to the injury. Our team is experienced in assessing the misconduct of various parties and advocating for you and your child's right to recover compensation. We work diligently to ensure you receive the support you deserve.

Birth injuries can occur during the delivery process. While some are accidental, medical professionals may, in certain cases, cause injuries through misconduct, such as delays in removing the baby. Families affected by these injuries may be entitled to compensation for damages and long-term care. To pursue compensation, we often engage medical experts to demonstrate that the medical professionals acted in a substandard way, resulting in harm to the baby and/or the mother.

In cases where a child suffers a birth injury during delivery, parents typically receive the monetary recovery on behalf of the child. Additionally, an injured mother may recover for her injury, and parents may be able to seek compensation separately for the loss of a "child’s society and companionship."

You have a limited time to file a lawsuit, known as the "statute of limitations." Each state has different limitations, often ranging from two to seven years. In many states, an injured baby can file a lawsuit until their twentieth birthday. Due to the technical nature of these limitations, it's essential to discuss the facts of your case with the lawyers at the Child Brain Injury Law Center.

The duration of a lawsuit depends on factors such as the complexity of facts, acceptance of responsibility by medical providers, the extent of damages suffered by the child and the family, and the need for long-term treatment or care. While some cases can be settled in a few months, others may go to trial and take several years to obtain proper compensation. We strive to achieve a just settlement or jury verdict efficiently as possible.
