If You Or Your Loved One Experienced a Birth Injury in Denver, You Need Resources to Heal
Birth injuries are tragic. They change the lives of entire families. They are exhausting, expensive, and emotionally draining. Your family will require time and resources as you process what has happened. You also need to know a few things as you forge ahead:
- If you are the mother, do not assume fault. We’ll say that again: Some people may allege you did something to cause your baby’s injuries. That is wildly unhelpful, inappropriate, and likely untrue.
- Please also realize that you are also hurting. Although birth injuries in this context generally focus on the child, mothers also often sustain life-threatening injuries during or after birth. Even if you feel physically fine, the psychological trauma of going through birth and learning of your child’s potential injuries is significant. Both you and your child deserve care, attention, and as little victim-blaming as possible.
We want to help you find the answers you need to heal and move forward.

How Can You Begin to Heal After a Birth Injury?
Dealing with a birth injury in your family is an emotional, challenging journey.
Your first step is seeking medical care for your child’s needs. Contact healthcare professionals who specialize in birth injury cases and initiate appropriate treatment.
Make sure you’re taking care of your needs, too. You (or the child’s mother) should speak with a doctor and ensure that you’re healing as well as possible after labor and delivery. Finding a local support network or pursuing therapy for your trauma may also be helpful.
All of this will require a significant amount of resources. Not only do you deserve compensation for your traumatic experience, but you may require it to move forward as healthily as possible.
That’s where Jordan Law can help. Call (303) 465-8733 at once, and we’ll start the process of filing your Denver birth injury claim.
What Compensation Is Available for Birth Injury Cases in Colorado?
In your birth injury claim, you should be able to pursue economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are ones with specific dollar amounts attached. These may include medical expenses (for you and your baby), income loss, future income loss, rehab costs, and the fees associated with in-home care.
Non-economic damages are a little harder to quantify. They are no less important. These damages are intangible, and may include pain and suffering, loss of consortium, or emotional distress.
Your Denver birth injury attorney will be able to help you determine how much your non-economic damages are worth, and, therefore, the estimated value of your claim.
How a Colorado Birth Injury Attorney Can Help You
Retaining a Colorado birth injury lawyer will be invaluable as you tackle the aftermath of your child’s birth.
Depending on the nature of your claim, your road to compensation may include the following steps:
- Consulting with an experienced Denver birth injury attorney. (Here’s the phone number of a good one: 303.465-8733.)
- Gathering as much information as possible, including medical records, documentation of your expenses, and any other injury-related evidence.
- Investigating your claim. Your lawyer will review all documentation, speak to medical experts, research precedent, and do everything possible to assess the strength of your case.
- Determining liability. You and your lawyer will work to identify the parties responsible for your child’s injury. (See “Who is Liable for a Birth Injury Claim” below for more information.)
- Calculating damages. Based on all of the information gathered thus far, your lawyer will help you determine the value of your claim.
- Negotiating or litigating. Your lawyer will speak with all involved parties to seek a fair settlement on your behalf. If a settlement is not wise in your case, your lawyer will help you decide whether going to trial is in your best interest.
- Going to court, if necessary. This will involve extensive preparation, and your lawyer’s willingness to do whatever is necessary to help you succeed.
Many lawyers won’t go to court, since it’s expensive and complicated. You and your family deserve fair compensation – and representation that won’t back down when the going gets tough.
From your free Denver birth injury consultation through the end of your case, including going to court if necessary, your child birth injury lawyer should be by your side to make this complex process as straightforward as possible. At Jordan Law, that’s precisely what we do.
