Our Cerebral Palsy Attorneys Can Pursue Compensation for Your Child and Family

Every parent wants the best for their child, so it can be heartbreaking to learn they will face additional obstacles because of a birth injury. However, if your child’s CP was preventable with proper medical care, you deserve compensation. We can fight for financial resources to pay for medical treatments, educational services, and therapies your child may need to reach their full potential.

Our cerebral palsy attorneys can seek awards for:

• Past and future medical bills. Children with CP may require a lifetime of medical services. We can pursue reimbursement for your current medical expenses and awards for your child’s expected future medical needs. This may include doctor and hospital fees, physical and occupational therapy, mobility aids, hearing and vision aids, medical procedures, medications, and in-home health services.
• Special education and services. You want your child to have access to schooling and services they need to learn and develop. Our attorneys can seek awards to pay for speech therapy, tutoring, private schooling, and learning materials.
• Pain and suffering. Also called non-economic damages, pain and suffering compensation awards victims for the negative impact of their injury on their overall quality of life. Your child may be entitled to monetary awards for physical pain, emotional suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life. However, Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 3-2A-09 caps non-economic damages for medical malpractice. Our lawyers can tell you more about the cap and work to maximize your pain and suffering compensation.
• Maternal injuries. If the child’s mother also suffered an injury during childbirth, we can assist with a separate malpractice case to recover damages.
• Lost wages. You may have to reduce your hours at work, take a lower-paying job, or retire to care for your child. We can recover your lost income, earnings, benefits, and the loss of your future earning capacity. We may also secure compensation for the loss of your child’s earning potential.
• Transportation and home modifications. If your child requires a wheelchair, walker, or other mobility aid, you may need to purchase a new vehicle, hire special transportation services, or renovate your home to be more accessible. We can help you recover the cost of these and other injury-related modifications and miscellaneous expenses.

We Assist Families Coping with Fatal Birth Injuries

If your child died because of a birth injury, we offer our deepest condolences. We understand that seeking compensation cannot relieve your grief, but holding the liable health care provider responsible may provide you with a measure of justice and the means to pay for damages without jeopardizing your financial future.

Our lawyers can assist you with a wrongful death case to recover your medical expenses and compensate you for pain and suffering. In addition, we can help file your lawsuit before the three-year statute of limitations outlined in Md. Code Ann., Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 3-904 expires.
