Birth Injury Lawyer in Grand Rapids

Severe birth injuries can have serious and long-lasting consequences for both the mother and the newborn. Examples of long-term effects may include developmental delays, cognitive impairment, motor skill deficiencies, and even emotional or behavioral challenges. These challenges can impact a child's quality of life and may require extensive medical care and support.

We always recommend contacting us for a free case evaluation, even if you're not sure whether your case has merit. That said, you may need a birth injury lawyer, particularly if:

• the child's injury requires ongoing medical care or rehabilitation;
• there are indications of medical negligence during childbirth;
• the insurance company is disputing your claim;
• you are being blamed for the injures;
• your loved one died during birth; or
• you're unsure who's responsible for your loved one's injuries or death during the birth process. 

Consulting with a birth injury expert from our team can help clarify whether your case has merit and if pursuing legal action is appropriate for your situation.

Don't worry about being unable to afford a lawyer. In fact, with no upfront costs whatsoever, you can still hire a skilled Grand Rapids birth injury attorney from Morgan and Morgan, the country's largest and most powerful plaintiffs' firm. That's because our army of over 1,000 attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win the case and recover damages. 

Yes, you do. The at-fault party's willingness to settle is a sign that your case has merit. Otherwise, the settlement wouldn't even be an option. For this reason, you need a lawyer to help evaluate your damages and ensure that the compensation you receive covers the long-term costs associated with the birth injury.

Time can be your best friend and worst enemy, depending on how fast you take action after a birth injury. Taking too long to seek legal help could mean losing your right to sue. Similarly, acting fast could mean getting to the bottom of things early and holding the at-fault party accountable. Contact us today to get started.
