West Virginia Birth Injury Lawyers

Birth injuries can turn what should be a joyous moment for families into a scary and uncertain one. When a medical professional makes an error that causes your baby to suffer an injury at or around birth, it can result in lifelong disabilities for your child. If the injury could have been prevented, or the medical professional did not follow standards of care, it is considered medical malpractice. If you suspect that your child suffered a birth injury in West Virginia, you may be entitled to compensation for their medical expenses and future care needs.

Birth injuries are associated with many diagnoses, and can result in disability. However, some disabilities may not be evident until the child grows up and begins to miss developmental milestones, such as crawling.

It’s important for parents and caretakers to know that there is a time limit to file a lawsuit, known as the statute of limitations. The statute changes depending on your location, the type of facility the injury took place in, and sometimes, even the age of the child. There can also be different time limits for parents and children. If you believe that you have a case, we encourage you to contact a birth injury attorney as soon as possible to confirm your statute and explore your legal options.

In West Virginia, you have until the child’s 12th birthday to file a lawsuit.
