Why Hire a Birth Injury Attorney in Philadelphia?

By VSCP LAW

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about seven in 1,000 children will suffer from a birth injury. A birth injury refers to damage caused to a baby shortly before, during, or after their birth. Birth injuries can result in permanent damage to the baby that will last into childhood and adulthood. Common birth injuries include bone fracture, cerebral palsy, brachial plexus, vacuum extraction complications, brain damage, and encephalopathy. 

If you believe your child suffered a birth injury, you may be able to file a lawsuit and get compensated for the various costs involved with a child who has been injured. This article explores why you should hire a birth injury lawyer in Philadelphia.

WHY HIRE A LAWYER WHO SPECIALIZES IN BIRTH INJURY CASES?

If your child needed braces to correct an overbite, you wouldn’t take them to a dentist. You would take them to an orthodontist. You would take them to the professional who has the specific training necessary to solve the problem you bring to them.

It’s the same thing with attorneys. You shouldn’t take your birth injury case to a general practice attorney or a general medical malpractice attorney who doesn’t have the specific experience and training necessary to solve the problem you bring to them.

Birth injury cases can be complicated. They can require people with specialized knowledge in navigating the many moving parts of these complex cases. Birth injury cases involve medical experts, financial experts, life care planners, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, rehabilitation specialists, education experts, etc. And the lawyers you hire need to have the special experience and training required to file and execute a successful birth injury lawsuit. Thus, find a birth injury attorney – that is, an attorney who has specific experience and training in birth injury law – to help you through this difficult process.

WHY DO I NEED TO HIRE A PHILADELPHIA BIRTH INJURY LAWYER?

The First Judicial District of Pennsylvania includes the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia. The Court of Common Pleas has more than one hundred judges and handles a wide variety of cases including birth injury cases.

Some states have a unified judicial system. In New Jersey, for instance, the same rules and forms and procedures apply whether you file a lawsuit in Camden County, New Jersey or Union County, New Jersey. Pennsylvania, however, does not have a unified judicial system. Every county is different. Practicing law in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania is very different from practicing law in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania,  Pennsylvania or Bucks County, Pennsylvania. There are special forms, filings, procedures, and processes that attorneys practicing law in other counties would find downright confusing. If you plan to hire a lawyer for a birth injury that occurred in Philadelphia, you should hire a Philadelphia birth injury lawyer.

A Philadelphia birth injury attorney knows the ins and outs of the complicated Philadelphia judicial system, has the necessary contacts at the various large Philadelphia-based medical institutions, and knows how to navigate every crucial stage of a successful birth injury case in Philadelphia.
