Children have no control over the events of their birth. When a child enters the world suffering from a serious injury, the at-fault care provider holds responsibility.
As parents, you can’t control what happened to your child, but you can control what happens next. With the help of an Erie birth injury attorney, you can pursue justice for the wrong done to your baby. Ben Crump Law, PLLC is ready to listen to your story today. We offer free consults.
We Seek the Compensation Your Family Deserves
Part of pursuing justice is demanding the responsible party pay for your child’s injury-related losses. You should not have to pay for someone else’s mistake.
Financial recovery should cover:
- Medical expenses, both now and in the future
- Rehabilitation costs
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Reduced earning capacity
- The cost of modifying your family home or vehicle
These awards cover both your financial and non-financial hardships. Moreover, you can seek damages that apply to both you and your child. Our lawyers can explain more about your recoverable losses during your free case review.
We Will Determine What Constitutes a Fair Settlement Offer
What you and your family are experiencing is deeply personal. For that reason, your compensation should reflect that. We determine what damages you should receive based on your situation.
When considering your losses, we take into account your child’s:
- Health condition
- Injury’s permanence
- Quality of life
- Necessary medical treatments
- Mental health
- Future prospects
This is not to say only severe permanent injuries qualify for compensation. On the contrary, while doctors and adjusters may claim your child’s injury is “minor,” you still deserve damages to cover losses related to the injury. The negligent party created the problem that led to those expenses; they should pay.
The birth injury lawyers with Ben Crump Law, PLLC consult Erie doctors, economists, and actuaries to explore the present and future ramifications of your child’s condition.

We Will Determine Who Is Liable for Your Child’s Birth Injury
Physicians are not the only healthcare workers who could have contributed to your infant’s injury. In fact, more than one person could have been responsible, including:
- Doctors
- Specialists
- Nurses
- Techs
- Staff members
- Hospitals
- Hospital equipment manufacturers
You may not even be aware of what happened. After all, childbirth is inherently overwhelming, and you were focused on your baby. Our investigators can retrace the events of the injury to identify the negligent parties.
Birth injuries are a form of medical malpractice, which can get complicated simply because medicine is a highly specialized field. Understanding all the people and choices involved requires talking to others in that specialized field. At Ben Crump Law, PLLC, we consult experts to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
