If your child is one of the few to sustain a severe injury due to a cephalohematoma, you will likely be able to bring a birth injury claim. Medical malpractice claims in Kentucky have a one-year statute of limitations on them, meaning that the claim must be filed within one year of the injury, or within one year of the injury being discovered (or when it ought reasonably to have been discovered). Unlike many other states, Kentucky also has no damage caps in medical malpractice suits, which may influence a medical professional or hospital toward settlement - the possibility of large verdicts does exist.
