A birth injury lawsuit settlement is a financial agreement that the defendant(s) and your legal team negotiate, usually without going to court.
Most birth injury cases result in settlements, which can allow your family to receive compensation sooner. However, some birth injury cases do go to trial.
During a trial, a judge and jury will hear arguments from both parties and decide on the amount of compensation in a verdict. Unfortunately, a trial can result in a much longer legal process — it’s also riskier.
If the judge and jury don’t rule in your favor or if the result is later appealed, you may not receive any financial compensation at all.
That said, your birth injury lawyers and legal team at Sokolove Law are prepared to fight on your behalf in court if needed.
