Should I File a Birth Defect Lawsuit?

It’s quite possible that you should and here’s why: Your baby may require expensive procedures that health insurance will most likely not cover or not cover in their entirety.

There will be ongoing therapy, costly care giving, and numerous prescription drugs. If employed or self-employed, you may need to take time off work. You, your family, and your baby’s pain and suffering will be all consuming. A lawsuit can help pay for medical bills and expenses.

When is the best time to file a birth defect lawsuit?

The sooner the better—it takes time to compile information and hospital records. Every state has what is called statute of limitations and places limits on how long the injured party can wait to file a lawsuit. The last thing you want to do is lose that opportunity to file.
