Handling Birth Injury Lawsuits Nationwide

We place our trust in medical professionals when we grant them the power to make life and death decisions concerning our lives and the lives of our children. Skilled medical doctors are worth every penny we pay them. They provide tremendous help, and we trust them with our life, health, and safety.

When that trust is betrayed by negligence and incompetence, or worse, a complete denial of responsibility for birth injuries to your child, you need an attorney from Beam Legal Team to help you fight for what is right and just with a birth injury lawsuit. We devote all of our time to helping children and holding negligent medical professionals responsible for their oversight.

Steps We Take to Pursue Just Compensation

If we take on your case, there are several steps we will certainly take to effectively pursue the best possible results:

  • Investigating your case – We will need to analyze all documents and medical records from all time periods, including the pregnancy, delivery, and postnatal care.
  • Consult with experts – We will take the time to carefully review your case with experts in the medical field to accurately determine the amount of damages.
  • Make a settlement demand – After carefully reviewing your case, we can make a settlement demand to the insurance company of the medical care provider.
  • File a lawsuit if needed – If a settlement cannot be reached, we can move forward with the filing of a lawsuit with the appropriate office. After a lawsuit is filed, this will initiate a formal discovery process.
  • Take your case to trial – If any element of your case is contested, our firm will be willing and ready to take it to court. Our team of skilled lawyers can help you achieve a favorable outcome.
  • Distribute funds – If a settlement is reached or a verdict is won in your favor, we will then work quickly to obtain the funds and disburse the funds owed to you.

How Long Does A Birth Injury Lawsuit Take?

From the time a client comes to our firm and signs an agreement to the time that we are able to write them a final check, there is a lot that must happen. The time this process takes will vary drastically.

We have had a case that went on for 15 years, but thankfully that is not the norm. The average length is around 2 to 3.5 years, but there are many factors that can affect the timing of the case including the jurisdiction. In Illinois, where our firm is located, it takes around three years to get a case to trial.

Rest assured, however, that there is no firm in the country that works harder to get the best possible results as soon as possible than us.

How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Birth Injury Attorney?

At Beam Legal Team, our lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay anything unless and until we win your case. In many personal injury cases – especially birth injury lawsuits– the plaintiff wouldn’t be able to pay the exorbitant fees the insurance companies pay their lawyers. But unlike the insurance companies, our priorities are you and your child’s best interests. That’s why you don’t have to pay us any upfront costs.

FAQs

How do I know if my child has a birth injury? The doctors tell me they don't know what is wrong with my child.

Although all children do not always respond the same, most babies with an acute injury from a lack of oxygen or blood flow respond with what is called the neonatal neurologic syndrome. Infants who have been asphyxiated or had trauma during labor and delivery usually show irritability, stupor, apnea, seizures, and other clinical signs and symptoms resulting from acute brain damage. Some babies have bleeding in the brain. Many times, children may have swelling or edema of the brain which can be seen on a CT scan, MRI, or an ultrasound. Beam Legal Team knows how to comb through the medical records to help you determine if negligence or medical malpractice was the cause of your child’s birth injuries.

Should I file a lawsuit?

Before filing a lawsuit, we carefully examine the medical records and the facts of your case to determine whether anyone is at fault. Contrary to what the insurance industry would like you to believe, experienced attorneys like those at Beam Legal Team carefully screen the cases. We do not sue innocent doctors or hospitals without just cause. If it turns out that you do have a case, you owe it to your child to seek justice in a court of law. Some of the biggest fears of parents of special needs children include the costs of caring for their child and who will take care of their child after they are gone. Even fully-funded government programs for special needs children do not provide the 24-hour care that most of our clients will need for the rest of their lives.
