Finding a birth injury attorney is not something that anyone expects to do when they are planning for their new baby. When the unthinkable happens, however, it is critical to understand the ins and outs of finding a birth injury attorney that is right for you and your emotional and financial situation.
Decide to consult with a birth injury attorney. Many families are faced with the choice of seeking out an attorney or simply letting the injury fade as a painful memory. Unfortunately, many states have a statute of limitations on birth injury claims. This means that if too much time has passed since the birth injury, you may not be able to raise the claim, ever. If you are unsure if you have a claim, or are reluctant to bring one while you are in such emotional turmoil, seek out a birth injury attorney for a consultation if for nothing else.
Look for a birth injury attorney that offers free consultations. A reputable birth injury attorney will meet with you to discuss your options and tell you honestly if you have a claim for free. This one consultation can save you years of wondering whether you did the right thing by not pursuing a birth injury claim. Further, nearly all birth injury attorneys only get paid when and if you have your claim settled or won, so you won't have to worry about paying out of pocket attorney's fees.
Ask the birth injury attorney if they have ever handled cases like yours. Despite the jokes made at their expense, attorney's are bound by a code of ethics, and most attorneys will let you know up front if they are qualified to handle your case or they will refer you to someone who is.
Present all the facts, no matter how trivial they may seem, to your birth injury attorney. Write down any thoughts or memories you have that may help the attorney do their job. Remember, when in doubt, write it out.
