Birth Injured Children And The Life Care Plan in Hawai'i
Birth injured children in Hawai'i who have sued their physician, nurse or midwife for negligently causing their birth injuries will need a life care plan to establish the extent of their future needs. The life care plan specifically identifies everything that the injured child will ever require in terms of hardware, therapies and attendant care. The life care plan is prepared by a rehabilitation physician often in coordination with a nurse. The physician and nurse will visit the child’s home, interview the parents and examine the child. They will prepare a written report detailing their findings that your attorney will use to prove your child’s damages.
Children may sustain brain injuries in the birthing process due to the negligence of their physician, nurse or midwife. If you, or someone you know, has a child with a brain injury from the birthing process, you should seek to have the records reviewed by an attorney who represents children in birth injury cases.
