You may have a claim if you have evidence that a healthcare provider or facility owed you a duty of care, breached this duty, and caused your infant’s birth injuries. Your attorney can help you gather evidence such as eyewitness statements and expert testimony to fulfill these burdens of proof. Your attorney can identify the defendant and file your claim within the state’s two-year deadline. Then, your lawyer can take over negotiations with insurance companies to help you obtain maximum recovery for your damages.
Ohio has a limit on noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases of up to $350,000 per plaintiff, except in cases involving catastrophic injuries, in which the cap increases to $500,000 per plaintiff. These caps do not apply to wrongful death birth injury cases. Using a lawyer to file your birth injury claim increase your odds of receiving a positive outcome. Trust a lawyer with your case for total peace of mind during the legal process.
