Families affected by birth injuries may be entitled to various forms of compensation which may include economic and non-economic damages. There may be limits to how much you can recover, so it is best to discuss your case thoroughly with an experienced birth injury attorney, to ensure that you can secure the best possible compensation.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Economic Damages
These are damages that can be precisely calculated with bills, documents, and receipts. They are typically easier to prove with proper documentation, and may include the following:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Rehabilitation costs
- Special education needs
- Home modifications
- Lost wages (for caregiving parents)
- Assistive devices and equipment
It is prudent to keep all of your records and receipts so that should a birth injury occur, you will have an easier time with your claims.
Non-Economic Damages
These damages are more subjective and cannot be precisely measured. They typically require narrative evidence from witnesses and expert testimony.
The following non-economic damages may be available for victims in birth injury cases:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of quality of life
- Mental anguish
- Loss of consortium
