What Can A Birth Injury Lawyer Do To Help My Baby And Me?

If you believe you or your baby were injured in Palm Desert, California due to medical negligence during delivery, a birth injury attorney needs to determine whether or not you have a viable case. A worthy attorney will begin

by going over the details of your case and the information you provide very thoroughly to ensure that your case is valid. When you meet with your attorney, be sure to bring any and all medical documents that you think will be relevant to your case.

After your first meeting, an experienced California birth injury lawyer should start the pre-litigation process of collecting additional evidence, documents, a list of witnesses and experts, and reviewing all the intricate details involved in your birth injury case. During this period, it is not uncommon for an attorney to calculate and propose a settlement amount to the defense. There is never a guarantee that they will agree to settle the matter. You also must agree to any settlement amount.

If a settlement cannot be reached, then the litigation phase of your case will begin. Your attorney will file an official complaint against the defendant in a civil court. Once that complaint is filed, the defense has a certain amount of time to formally file an answer. The discovery stage will begin during this time, where both sides are allowed to see the evidence, witness list, and any other information that has been gathered and is possessed by the other side. If no addition settlement negotiations take place, the case will proceed to trial.
