North Dakota Birth Injury Lawyers

Childbirth is a special moment in a parent’s life. Unfortunately, the medical staff you entrust with your care can make mistakes that can lead to birth injuries –  complications that can cause lifelong issues for your child. These mistakes can be a result of negligent behavior or malpractice. If you or your loved one experienced a birth injury in North Dakota you may be entitled to compensation for future medical expenses and other care the child may need.

Birth injury is very complex, with many different diagnoses. A child may be diagnosed with a lack of oxygen at birth (HIE) at the same time a brain bleed occurs. This can be a consequence of medical malpractice, and it can result in disability, such as cerebral palsy. However, some delays in the child’s development may not appear until they start missing developmental milestones.

Unfortunately, there is a time limit for filing a lawsuit, called a statute of limitations. The statute may differ depending on what kind of facility the negligence or malpractice occurred in. If you suspect malpractice occurred during birth, it’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible. In North Dakota, you currently have 12 years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit.
