FAQs

For a newborn infection medical malpractice claim to be successful, a personal injury lawyer must establish that standards of care have been breached, that the breach directly caused serious harm to a person, and that another person's negligent action or inaction caused this harm. To establish negligence, we conduct a preliminary investigation into a client's medical files to determine when and how the infection started, how long it took to identify it, and how it was treated once identified. We also consult medical experts who can provide an opinion about whether it is reasonable to think a doctor with a similar level of experience under similar circumstances would have made the same choices based on protocols in place.
