When a birth injury changes the course of your child’s life, it also changes yours. Suddenly, your days may be filled with doctor’s appointments, therapy sessions, and endless planning for the future. Beyond the emotional weight, there’s the financial reality: birth injuries can cost millions over a lifetime.
The Hidden and Ongoing Costs
Some of the most common lifelong expenses include:
- Medical care – surgeries, hospital stays, and specialist visits.
- Therapy – physical, occupational, and speech therapy, often several times a week.
- Mobility aids – wheelchairs, walkers, braces, and other adaptive equipment.
- Home modifications – ramps, widened doorways, accessible bathrooms.
- Educational support – special education programs, tutors, and assistive technology.
- In-home care – nursing or caregiver support for daily needs.
Conditions like cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, and brain damage from oxygen deprivation often require care well into adulthood—sometimes for life.
How Legal Action Helps
If your child’s injury was caused by medical negligence, a legal claim can provide the financial resources to cover both current and future expenses. Compensation can also account for:
- Pain and suffering.
- Emotional distress.
- Loss of enjoyment of life.
- Lost wages for parents who must stop working to provide care.
A settlement or verdict isn’t just about money—it’s about ensuring your child has access to every opportunity for independence and quality of life.
Why Timing Matters
As discussed in Birth Injury Lawsuits, the law limits how long you have to file a claim. Starting early allows your attorney to collect the strongest evidence and fully assess your child’s lifetime needs.
CFCK Law’s Approach
We begin by understanding your child’s medical condition and prognosis. We consult with medical experts, life care planners, and economists to calculate the true cost of care over a lifetime. We also investigate the delivery records, Electronic Fetal Monitoring Errors, and other medical details to prove negligence.
Our goal is simple: secure the resources your family needs, now and in the future.
A Real-World Example
We’ve seen cases where a timely C-section could have prevented brain damage, but the delay caused a lifetime of care needs. The financial settlement allowed the family to:
- Purchase a wheelchair-accessible van.
- Move into a home adapted for mobility.
- Fund specialized therapy and education programs.
This isn’t just legal work—it’s life-changing advocacy.
