What Happened to Your Baby or You Is Not Inevitable
Experiencing complications during childbirth can be devastating, not just for the child but for the entire family. Birth injuries, including cerebral palsy, can occur due to factors that are often preventable with appropriate medical care. Understanding that these outcomes are not inevitable is the first step in navigating the complex world of medical malpractice and seeking justice for your family. If you suspect that a mistake may have occurred during your delivery, there are steps you can take to investigate and potentially hold the responsible parties accountable.
New York OB-GYN Malpractice Law — No Cap on Damages
New York is unique in that it has no cap on damages for medical malpractice cases, including those involving birth injuries. This means that if you successfully prove your case, you could be entitled to recover damages that fully reflect the extent of your child’s injuries and the impact on your family. The absence of a cap allows for potentially larger settlements and awards compared to other states, where limits can significantly reduce compensation in birth injury cases.
According to New York law, the statute of limitations (SOL) for filing a malpractice claim related to a birth injury is 2.5 years. However, if the injured party is a minor, the clock is paused until they reach the age of 18, plus an additional 2.5 years. This can be crucial for parents who may not immediately realize the long-term implications of their child’s injuries.
What Galex AI Finds in Your OB-GYN / Birth Records
When you engage Galex AI to audit your OB-GYN or birth records, our forensic analysis focuses on identifying potential deviations from established medical standards, specifically the ACOG guidelines. We scrutinize the documentation for evidence of malpractice, such as failure to monitor fetal distress, improper use of delivery instruments, or inadequate response to complications during labor. Our findings can provide critical evidence needed to substantiate a claim, particularly since the rejection rate for claims without forensic evidence is a staggering 74%.
How to Audit Your Birth Injury / Cerebral Palsy Records
Auditing your medical records is a straightforward process with Galex AI. Start by gathering all relevant documentation, including prenatal care records, labor and delivery notes, and any postnatal assessments. Once you have your records in hand, you can choose between our Standard Audit for initial findings or a Premium Deep Analysis for a more thorough examination. Our AI-driven audit will pinpoint any deviations from ACOG standards and help establish causation gaps, setting the stage for any legal action you may wish to pursue.
New York Birth Injury / Cerebral Palsy Malpractice Settlements
In New York, settlements for birth injury cases can be substantial, often ranging from $2 million to over $15 million, depending on the severity of the injuries and the circumstances surrounding the case. Recent precedents, such as Hernandez v. Montefiore Medical Center, which resulted in a $4.2 million settlement for a birth injury, and Lopez v. NYC Health + Hospitals, which awarded $6.8 million for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), highlight the potential for significant compensation in these cases. Such precedents underscore the importance of a thorough audit of your medical records to identify any malpractice that may have occurred during childbirth.
Find a Birth Injury Attorney in New York — After the Audit
Once you have completed your audit and identified potential issues in your birth records, the next step is to consult with a qualified attorney who specializes in birth injury cases. With Galex AI’s forensic audit in hand, you will be better equipped to discuss your case with potential legal representation. Having concrete evidence of malpractice can significantly enhance your chances of a successful claim and appropriate compensation for your child’s needs.
