Understanding Birth Injury Cases in Ohio
Birth injury medical malpractice cases are among the most complex legal matters you can face. These cases require proving that medical professionals deviated from accepted standards of care during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, directly causing your child’s injuries. The challenge? You’re going up against well-funded hospitals and medical institutions with teams of experienced defense attorneys.
Ohio’s medical malpractice statute of limitations gives you just one year from the date you discovered (or reasonably should have discovered) the injury to file your lawsuit. This tight timeline means immediate action is crucial — waiting too long can permanently bar your claim, regardless of how strong your case might be. However, in the case of a minor, the statute of limitations does not begin to run until the individual reaches the age of 18.
Additionally, Ohio law requires expert medical testimony to prove your case. You can’t simply show that something went wrong; you must have qualified medical experts review your records and provide opinions that malpractice occurred. Without experienced legal representation, obtaining these expert opinions and navigating the complex procedural requirements is nearly impossible.
Building a Strong Birth Injury Case
Success in a birth injury case depends on three critical elements: a comprehensive review of medical records, expert witness testimony, and the preservation of all relevant evidence. Your attorney must obtain and analyze extensive medical records from multiple sources — prenatal care, hospital records, nursing notes, fetal monitoring strips, and post-delivery treatment records.
The most crucial component is assembling a team of qualified medical experts who can review your case and provide testimony that medical negligence occurred. This requires connections with specialists nationwide, including obstetricians, neonatologists, neurologists, and other relevant experts who understand the specific standards of care involved in your case. Most importantly, this includes knowing which types of experts to bring on as well.
In the unfortunate event that you need an Ohio birth injury attorney, it’s important to remember that evidence preservation is equally important. Medical records can be altered or lost, witnesses’ memories fade, and physical evidence deteriorates. An experienced medical malpractice attorney will immediately secure all relevant evidence and begin building your case while the facts are still fresh.
