Birth Injury Lawsuit Loans

Birth Injury Lawsuit Loans Overview

While welcoming a child into this world can be one of the most exciting occasions, accidents do occur. Though rare, it is possible for complications to occur during the pregnancy and/ or birth, resulting in injury to the child. Note that these complications do not refer to birth defects, but to avoidable injuries caused by medical malpractice, etc. If you believe your child suffered injuries due to negligence, and are in need of funding, Uplift is happy to provide birth injury lawsuit loans.

Birth Injury Causes and Statistics

Birthing injuries are rare but still occur. Out of 1000 babies born in the United States, about 5 will be injured during birth.

Note the common causes of birth injuries:

• Medical malpractice
• Prescription drugs used by the mother during pregnancy
• Defective medical devices

Filing a Claim

Before filing a claim, it is important to know who is to blame. The defendant is the individual or institution whose negligence resulted in your child’s injury. In other words, the accident was preventable.

In birth injuries, there are various potential defendants. They include:

• Physicians – In medical malpractice, the plaintiff places blame on the physician(s) and aims to prove it was their negligence that caused the injury. Doctors are obligated to provide a certain standard of care. By putting you or your baby in harm’s way, they are breaching their duty of care, and thus are subject to a lawsuit.
• Hospital – In some birth injury cases, the plaintiff can take action against the hospital for negligence and breach of duty.
• Drug Manufacturer – If a pregnant woman was advised to take medication that directly caused a birth injury, she can claim negligence on the part of the prescribing doctor. The manufacturer can sometimes be blamed in the case of inadequate side-effect warnings.

Once you solidify who the defendant is, it is up to you to prove a connection between their negligence and your child’s injury. Legal professionals and expert medical witnesses are important advocates during this process. If you have a solid case, the damages owed to you will help cover medical expenses, legal fees, pain, and suffering, etc.
