Why these cases go to trial.
Birth injury cases are among the hardest in personal injury law. They require obstetric and neonatal experts, a careful reconstruction of what the standard of care required, and the resources to stand up to a hospital system and its defense team.
Many firms are not built to take these cases the distance. When the defense will not offer fair value, the answer is a jury, and a case prepared to reach one.
How we built it.
We assembled the medical record, retained independent specialists, and presented the case to a jury rather than accept a number meant to make it go away.
A verdict is a different kind of result than a settlement. It reflects what a jury, hearing the full picture, decided the harm was worth.
The result.
The jury returned a verdict of $1.6 million.
