Why are These Cases so Challenging?
The single most challenging element of birth injury cases is simply due to the complex nature of birth in general. There are many naturally occurring problems that can occur in in birth. It is necessary to prove that injury was a direct result of the actions or inaction of the medical personnel involved in the birth.
Additionally, birth injury cases are a type of medical malpractice case and in the State of Texas the specifics of medical malpractice cases have been drastically altered by tort reform. Several years ago Texas law makers felt it prudent to protect the financial interests of medical professionals by enacting statutes that limit the amount of compensation that medical malpractice victims can receive. In addition to damages caps, tort reform also made drastic changes to the way that the case is presented to the court. For example, medical malpractice cases now require a higher standard of proof and all evidence must be submitted within a very short time frame after suit is filed.
These and other elements of tort reform have made birth injury cases very challenging and the vast majority of attorneys have simply decided not to practice this type of law anymore. Fortunately, Grossman Law Offices are not afraid of a challenge and we are Dallas personal injury lawyers committed to helping the victims of birth injuries.
