Compensation for Birth Injuries: What Can You Claim in Kentucky?

Birth injuries are more common than many people realize, and the consequences can be devastating. When a child suffers a preventable birth injury as a result of medical malpractice, they can experience a lifetime of loss – in addition to the immense damages their parents encounter. In the face of a birth injury, consult with an experienced Kentucky birth injury lawyer.

Medical Malpractice

Anyone, including medical professionals, can make mistakes, but these errors generally don’t reach the level of medical malpractice. However, when a healthcare professional or facility fails to employ the same level of care that their professional peers would have under similar circumstances, medical malpractice may apply. This can mean taking some action that other prudent medical professionals would not have or failing to take some action that other prudent medical professionals would have in a similar situation.

Compensation

When a baby suffers a birth injury, the child and their parents face cascading losses that are so considerable they can be difficult to accurately assess. Prime examples include the following:

Failure to effectively pursue the compensation to which the injured child and their parents are entitled can leave the victims without the resources necessary for the child to live their fullest and most rewarding life.

Birth Injury Claims Are Challenging

Birth injury claims are legally and emotionally challenging since the involved losses are often overwhelming and the fact that the family must come to terms with the child’s lost potential. This makes bringing a strong claim built on solid evidence paramount. Evidence may include:

Experienced birth injury attorneys spare no effort in their quest to build solid claims that support fair settlements that address the serious losses claimants experience as a result of medical malpractice.
