Medical Errors Are Far Too Common

According to a study by John Hopkins Medicine, medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for more than 250,000 deaths per year.

By hiring a birth injury attorney who can investigate and litigate your case, you can play an active role in increasing the safety and care standards of other patients, protecting them from becoming victims.

Birth Defect vs. Birth Injury

Birth defects and birth injuries have a few key differences:

  • While birth defects are present in infants before they are born, injuries occur during the birthing process and are a direct result of action or inaction on the part of the medical team involved in the birth
  • While birth defects are unavoidable, some birth injuries are preventable
  • Birth injuries are directly linked to medical malpractice, including anesthesia error or delayed or mistaken diagnoses

While some birth injuries are a result of unforeseen and unpreventable complications, others can occur as a result of incorrect delivery, misuse of delivery tools, or delayed diagnosis of complications such as fetal distress. When negligence is involved in any form, it is in the family's best interest to contact a personal injury lawyer.

In order to pursue a birth injury lawsuit, a family will have to prove that the physician or medical staff breached their "duty of care," that their negligence directly caused the child's injury, and that the child's injury has led to physical and emotional losses. While this can be difficult to prove on your own, our personal injury lawyers have the resources to build a compelling case. 

Erb's Palsy

Gary Zucker in Brooklyn explains Erb's Palsy, a condition that can result from a medical professional placing excessive pressure on the baby's head or neck during the birthing process.

Although the most severe birth injury conditions are incurable, a variety of treatments and support systems are available to help manage your child’s care. Our personal injury lawyers have built a network of trusted medical professionals, and we can help your child get the care they need while we focus on your case.

Can You Afford an Attorney?

Lawsuits are believed to be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming, so many families accept unfavorable settlements or forego any legal action because they are afraid of investing time and money in their case. 

But at Zucker & Regev, P.C. in Brooklyn, you can afford an attorney. In addition to offering free consultations, we take all birth injury cases on a contingency basis. This means we only collect a fee if we secure a settlement or jury award on your behalf. 

New York’s Medical Malpractice Fee Scale

Our legal fees are in accordance with New York's medical malpractice fee scale. 

First, we will deduct the case expenses. Then, we will apply the New York fee scale. While most personal injury lawsuit fees add up to one-third of the total recovery, medical malpractice fees are much lower. In New York state, medical malpractice fees are as follows: 

  • 30 percent of the first $250,000
  • 25 percent of the next $250,000
  • 20 percent of the next $500,000
  • 15 percent of the next $250,000
  • 10 percent of any amount over $1,250,000

Our personal injury attorneys in Brooklyn can answer your questions about fees during your free initial consultation.
