Duty of care is a person’s obligation to prioritize safety and well-being for those impacted by their actions. Duty of care applies in numerous circumstances, including in medical malpractice, car accidents, and birth injury claims.
Typically, a doctor or other medical practitioner must use medical equipment appropriately, monitor the mother and child to mitigate injury or other harm, maintain the vitals of these patients, and fulfill many different responsibilities. By doing their duty and prioritizing the health and safety of these patients, individuals are more likely to leave the hospital on time and recover as expected.
Negligence is also called a breach of duty of care. When a doctor is negligent, this means they have increased the risk of severe injury or loss of life in a given situation.
For example, a doctor may be negligent in a birth injury claim if they used equipment they knew was faulty, prescribed incorrect medication, failed to identify issues associated with the mother or baby’s health, and other actions.
Negligence only increases the risk of injury but does not always cause bodily harm. Also, injuries are not always caused by another party’s poor behavior. Due to the fact that these two elements are not intrinsically connected, a victim must demonstrate that another party’s negligence caused the birth injury to receive compensation.
Typically, you can demonstrate causation by ensuring your child seeks medical attention and providing documentation of the visit. Timestamps showing you sought medical care quickly will often result in better treatment and rewards from court personnel. We encourage you to seek medical attention as soon as possible after your incident, even if you are hesitant to trust medical practitioners.
If you need help finding a medical provider who can help you and that you can trust, contact Dominguez Law. We can provide you with a referral or otherwise help you explore your options for medical care.
To receive fair compensation for your birth injury losses, you must demonstrate the value of your damages and injuries to legal personnel. Generally, the system will calculate the total value of your birth injury claim based on the worth of any losses with objective monetary losses. Then, additional compensation can be added based on a multiplier or different facts surrounding victims’ lives.
