Calculating Compensation for Birth Injuries

Birth injuries often result in significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens. Compensation is designed to help families cover immediate medical expenses, long-term care, and the emotional toll that these injuries impose.

Medical expenses are typically the largest portion of compensation. This can include hospital bills, surgeries, medications, and ongoing therapies such as physical, occupational, or speech therapy. Severe injuries, like cerebral palsy or brachial plexus damage, may require lifelong treatment.

Future care costs are another critical factor. Children with permanent disabilities often need adaptive equipment, special schooling, and possibly full-time care. Attorneys work with financial and medical experts to project these costs and ensure settlements or awards cover them fully.

Compensation can also address lost income. Parents often need to reduce working hours or leave employment to provide necessary care for their child. This financial impact is factored into claims to ensure families are not left struggling.

Emotional damages are another important consideration. Birth injuries can cause tremendous stress, anxiety, and trauma for families. Compensation may help alleviate some of these burdens and support families in rebuilding their lives.
