Questions we hear
Common questions
How do I know whether my child's condition was preventable?
You usually cannot tell without a records review. We have fetal monitoring strips and delivery records evaluated by obstetric, nursing, and neonatal experts.
What compensation is available?
Lifetime medical and therapy costs, home and equipment needs, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering.
Is there a deadline?
Yes, and the rules for children differ from those for adults and have limits of their own. Ask us early.
