Claims for medical negligence which allegedly caused a birth injury that resulted in cerebral palsy are complex to investigate and pursue and are subject to multiple and strict statutes of limitations. An experienced medical malpractice lawyer investigates the viability of the claims by, among other things, obtaining the necessary medical records, reviewing the records to detect deviations from the requisite standards of care, and retaining experts to assist in investigating and pursuing the claims. A seasoned malpractice lawyer can ensure that the claims are timely filed, that all potentially liable providers have been sued and that the matter is properly and vigorously litigated.
