How Is a Brain Injury Settlement Calculated?

Birth injury settlements are determined based on a number of different things.

First and foremost, what kind of money is it going to take to pay the medical bills that have already been incurred and the medical bills that that baby is going to need down the road? That’s first and foremost.

Secondly, we need to determine what kind of injuries did the baby suffer, you know, what kinds of non-economic harms, the things we can’t readily place a price tag on. What are those worth? Will that child’s injuries be temporary or will they be lifelong?

All of those things go into helping to determine what a reasonable settlement in a birth injury case might be, and it’s important if you do have a birth injury case that you need to settle to talk with an experienced birth injury lawyer who can help you walk through that process and determine what the case is really worth.
