Should I contact a lawyer now?

Answer:

Yes. It’s essential to contact a lawyer as soon as possible</strong if you suspect your child’s birth injury may have been caused by medical negligence. Speaking with an attorney does not commit you to filing a lawsuit, but it ensures you understand your legal rights and options.

Why Contacting a Lawyer Early Matters

  • No obligation: A consultation is free and not legally binding.
  • Objective advice: A lawyer can explain whether the facts suggest negligence and outline your options.
  • Evidence preservation: Medical records, witness statements, and expert reviews are easier to collect early.
  • Deadlines apply: Each state has a statute of limitations for filing birth injury claims—waiting too long could bar your case.
  • Peace of mind: Understanding your legal options helps you focus on your child’s care and future.

Before reaching out, gather details about the injury and the care provided. Doctors and hospitals rarely admit negligence, which is why an attorney’s expertise in comparing the facts to established medical standards is crucial.

What happens after I contact a birth injury lawyer?

Reaching out to a lawyer can feel overwhelming, but the process is straightforward. Here’s what typically happens after your first call:

  1. Free consultation: You’ll discuss your child’s medical history and the circumstances of the birth with an attorney. There’s no cost or obligation.
  2. Case evaluation: The lawyer reviews medical records, timelines, and potential evidence to determine if negligence may have occurred.
  3. Expert review: Independent medical experts may be consulted to compare the care you received with accepted medical standards.
  4. Legal options explained: The attorney will explain your rights, possible compensation, and whether pursuing a lawsuit is in your best interest.
  5. The decision is yours: You choose whether to move forward. Even after a consultation, you are not required to hire the lawyer or file a lawsuit.

This step-by-step process ensures you get objective advice and understand your options before making any decisions.
