How much compensation could my family receive?
Birth injury settlements vary widely based on the severity of the injury and lifetime care needs. Our settlements have ranged from $1 million to over $8 million.

How do I know if my child has a birth injury case?
You may have a case if your child was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, HIE, or another condition resulting from complications during labor or delivery. A free case review can help determine if medical negligence was involved.
How long do I have to file a birth injury claim in New York?
For birth injuries in New York, you generally have until your child turns 10 to file a claim. However, if your child was treated at a city-run hospital (like Bellevue or Jacobi), you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Contact us at 833-99-BIRTH as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What can compensation cover?
Compensation may cover medical expenses, therapy, specialized equipment, home modifications, educational support, future care needs, and pain and suffering. Birth injury settlements often range from $1 million to $10+ million depending on the severity and lifetime care needs.
What does it cost to get a case review?
Case reviews are completely free. We work on a contingency basis — you pay nothing unless we win. Our fee comes from the settlement, never out of your pocket.
How long does a birth injury lawsuit take?
Most cases take 1-3 years to resolve. Over 90% settle before trial. Our team handles everything — medical records, expert consultations, negotiations — so you can focus on your child.
Was my child injured at a New York hospital?
We've helped families whose children were born at hospitals across New York, including NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, NewYork-Presbyterian, Bellevue, Montefiore, Jacobi, and many others. Regardless of where your child was born, we can review your case for free.
Is there a cap on how much compensation we can receive?
No. Unlike many states, New York has no caps on medical malpractice damages. You can seek full compensation for both economic damages (medical costs, future care) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering) with no artificial limits.
