Bringing your child to the doctor can be stressful, but you should always be able to trust that they will receive attentive, high-quality care from qualified professionals. Unfortunately, some pediatricians fail to meet the standard of care that all patients deserve, and when they act carelessly or recklessly, the consequences can be devastating.
If your child has been seriously harmed because of a negligent provider’s actions, you should consider speaking with a New Haven pediatric malpractice lawyer about the possibility of legal action. Our malpractice attorneys at Berkowitz and Hanna, LLC have years of experience recovering hundreds of millions of dollars in total for families just like yours, and we are ready to fight tenaciously on behalf of your family.
To hold a doctor legally responsible for harming your child, you must show that their condition was caused by a decision or action that no other equally qualified doctor would have made in the same situation. While this may sound straightforward, it can be difficult to build a claim like this without significant legal experience in the area.
A New Haven pediatric malpractice attorney can provide vital assistance with building a strong, evidence-based claim against the physicians who recklessly or carelessly allowed your child to be harmed. We can help find and preserve medical records, establish the financial value of losses through bills and receipts, and take the lead in obtaining a medical expert’s support for your claim through the “reasonable inquiry” process mandated by Connecticut General Statutes §52-190a.
