What Types of Birth Injuries Do Our Lawyers See in Delaware?

Childbirth is a notoriously difficult process for mother and baby, and some birth injuries are a natural and unavoidable consequence of this. In many instances, however, a birth injury is something that could have easily been prevented and is the direct result of negligent medical care during labor and delivery. Some of the more common medical mistakes that cause birth injuries our birth injury lawyers commonly see include:

Victim of sexual abuse or assault, either as a child or an adult, have the right to bring a civil lawsuit against both your abuser and any school, company, or organization that might be liable for the abuse.

For decades, schools, churches, and treatment centers have used a playbook to silence victims, destroying records, intimidating survivors, and using legal loopholes to dodge responsibility. But courts are catching up, and new laws in New York are forcing these institutions to pay for the harm they caused.

In this post, we will provide a brief overview of sexual abuse lawsuits in New York. We will explain the applicable statute of limitations for sex abuse civil cases in New York and how settlement amounts are calculated in these cases.

California birth injury lawsuits are about holding doctors, nurses, hospitals, urgent care clinics, OB practices, and other health care providers accountable when preventable medical mistakes cause real harm to the child during the labor and delivery process.  But the most devastating California malpractice cases our lawyers see are birth injury lawsuits. Birth injury cases are different. A missed diagnosis in an adult case can ruin a life. A negligent delivery can ruin the life of a child before that child ever gets a fair start. It can also change the parents’ lives forever.

These are the cases where the parents walk into the hospital expecting one of the happiest days of their lives, and they leave with a baby who has brain damage, seizures, cerebral palsy, a brachial plexus injury, or a lifetime need for medical care. That is hard to write. But it is the truth.

California birth injury lawsuits often focus on whether doctors and nurses failed to recognize fetal distress, delayed a C-section, mismanaged Pitocin, ignored abnormal fetal heart tracings, mishandled shoulder dystocia, failed to treat maternal infection, failed to respond to placental abruption, or failed to properly resuscitate the baby after delivery.

According to a study on jury verdicts, the median compensatory damages award for personal injury trials in New York is $287,628. This median award dwarfs the nationwide median of $34,550.

That is obviously very high compared to most jurisdictions.  Why? First, New York has favorable juries, particularly in its urban areas. But the reality is that New York’s no-fault law also distorts this number. Under New York’s no-fault system, drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists can usually recover up to $50,000 in basic economic loss from no-fault insurance, regardless of who caused the crash. These benefits can cover medical expenses, lost earnings, and certain other economic losses, but they do not compensate victims for pain and suffering.

That means many smaller car accident claims never become personal injury lawsuits. To recover pain and suffering damages after a New York car accident, the injured person usually must prove a serious injury under New York Insurance Law Section 5102(d). This leads to fewer lawsuits in smaller cases, which increases the average and median award among the cases that actually get tried.
