Alabama Birth Injury Lawyers
Legal help in Alabama for medical negligence at birth
Childbirth is a special moment in a parent’s life. Unfortunately, the medical staff you entrust with your care can make mistakes that can lead to birth injuries – complications that can cause lifelong issues for your child. These mistakes can be a result of negligent behavior or malpractice. If you or your loved one experienced a birth injury in Alabama, you may be entitled to compensation for future medical expenses and other care the child may need.
Birth injuries include several diagnoses, and they can be complex situations to unpack. For example, a child may receive a diagnosis for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) shortly after birth and spend time in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In other cases, a birth injury may not be suspected until a child grows and shows delays in their development.
Due to their complexity, birth injury cases require help from experienced and knowledgeable professionals. Attorneys that only handle birth injury cases have the right skills, networks, and knowledge to handle your child’s case with the utmost care.
Statute of Limitations
Unfortunately, there is a time limit for filing a lawsuit, called a statute of limitations. The statute may differ depending on what kind of facility the negligence or malpractice occurred in. If you suspect malpractice occurred during birth, it’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible. In Alabama, you have eight years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit.
