A proven record of verdicts and settlements
Birth injuries arise during many deliveries. Complications often occur naturally, even with proper medical oversight during pregnancy and labor. Other birth injuries, however, would not have occurred were it not for the negligence or carelessness of a medical professional. You trust your physician to do what is best for you and your child. Unfortunately, he or she can make mistakes that threaten your child’s health and safety.
If you suspect a physician or hospital in Oregon is guilty of medical malpractice that interfered with your pregnancy or the birth of your child, contact the Hillsboro birth injury lawyers at Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC for a free consultation. You could be eligible for compensation.
At Paulson Coletti, “liberty and justice for all” is more than just a phrase – it is our mandate. Our team of trial lawyers is driven to pursue justice for the injured, ensuring that the responsible parties are held accountable. With a high success rate both in and out of the courtroom, you can trust our Oregon personal injury lawyers to be the legal advocates you need so your voice can be heard.
A birth injury could affect your child for life. Physical scarring, disfigurement, loss of mobility, cognitive challenges and developmental delays could have lasting effects on your infant. Do not accept the first settlement an insurance company offers you after you file a birth injury claim in Hillsboro. Insurance companies often lowball initial settlements to see how little they can pay claimants. Instead, hire an attorney to negotiate a just settlement on your behalf. A lawyer can navigate Oregon’s medical malpractice laws and help your family achieve top results.
You or your lawyer must have proof of someone else’s negligence to file a lawsuit for a birth injury in Hillsboro, Oregon. Not all infant injuries will give rise to medical malpractice lawsuits. Your attorney must show proof of four main elements for a valid claim, in most cases.
A breach of duty of care can refer to any action or omission another physician would not have committed in similar circumstances. Your lawyer might need to hire a medical expert within the same profession as the defendant to help establish the duty of care and medical negligence in your birth injury case. Working with Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC could give you the resources to help prove your case.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
If your lawyer succeeds in establishing the validity of your claim, the courts in Washington County might award you a verdict. A jury verdict could cover damages such as your child’s past and future medical bills, special education, therapies, medical devices, pain and suffering, lost quality of life, and the legal costs associated with your medical malpractice claim.
