Rhode Island Birth Injury Lawyers

Childbirth is a special moment for every parent. Unfortunately, the medical staff you entrust with your care can make mistakes. Those mistakes can result from malpractice and  lead to birth injuries –  complications that can cause lifelong problems for your child. If you believe that you or your loved one experienced a birth injury in Rhode Island, you may be entitled to compensation for future medical expenses and other care the child may need.

Birth injury is very complex, and it is associated with many different diagnoses. A baby may have been deprived of oxygen at birth, and at the same time, endured a brain bleed. This can be a result of medical malpractice, and it can result in one or more disabilities. However, some delays in the child’s development may not appear until they start missing developmental milestones.

There is a time limit for filing a lawsuit, called a statute of limitations. The statute may vary depending on what kind of facility the malpractice occurred in, and even differs for a minor vs. an adult. If you suspect that you experienced malpractice during childbirth, it’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible. In Rhode Island, you have 21 years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit.
