@Redemptionman, @TaxCounsel, @army judge thank you for your inputs and suggestions. I will try again for an attorney, using this top class actions site. Apparently it costs 100k-300k to file a single case like this, mainly to pay for expert doctors testimony that can very expensive. I am going...

Thanks for this pointer. I am able to google up a few life care planners in my area. Will check them out. But its not just about the cost of care. My boys are physically perfectly healthy except for the brain damage effects of speech, learning, brain processing impairments and behavior issues. I...

Thanks @Redemptionman , I totally agree. So, I am hoping I can get our Pedeatrician at that time who examined my boy right after birth and was totally upset and angry at what had been done, to testify in court. He's been retired for a while and probably wouldnt mind speaking his mind and the...

Thanks for your response. Its actually a labor induction protocol in the hospital based on acog.org guidelines which are in turn based on the FDA approved drug package insert. I have heard "not following protocol is not enough proof of causation". But the protocol itself is in place only to...

Yeah, I have consulted med mal lawyers. The entire medico legal system / apparatus is geared towards hypoxic injury at birth, and they dont accept the possibility of traumatic injury. I know its a reality and the experts will really be committing perjury if they go against the FDA approved...

Thanks for your response @Redemptionman. I believe Ohio, like many other states has low caps on Malpractice claims which is why attorneys wont take up these cases. Here's a lawyer website showing state-wise malpractise claim limits. Got to scroll down for Ohio. Malpractice Damage Caps in All 50...

Picking this back up, after 2 years now. My boys are 16 and 14, both brain damaged at birth by the same obstetrician. I have still been unsuccessful trying to find a lawyer, but I have found out why. Apparently the doctors that do the rounds in courts giving paid expert opinion in malpractice...

I started looking for attorneys again after a hiatus, as life came in between. One question came to mind. Is there a way to access previous birth injury court cases, trials and details around them. I was able to google up some databases but most are criminal and other types of cases. Is there...

@Tax Counsel , on the subject of doctors being independent contractors, I suspect my doctor was an independent contractor and it was a private hospital. I was told we were sent there as ours was deemed a healthy, low risk pregnancy. Do hospitals not have the responsibility to ensure their...

Very true, I have come to realize Obstetricians are a legally protected lot, that can get away with murder. It almost feels like fighting organized crime. But that said, I simply cant let it go either. Life was bad when I didnt know what happened to my kids, but now that I understand what...

I appreciate these engaging and informative answers. I believe my problem is, the entire birth injury legal infrastructure is geared towards hypoxic brain injury ( oxygen deprivation ) but traumatic brain injury from induced labor, while very common ( there are many others in a similar...

@Redemptionman , thanks for your comments. The Lawyers I talked to, did say I have until the kids are 18 years old, to file a case in Ohio, plus if they are mentally incapacitated, then it can be even later. So I believe time limits are not an issue. Also, I believe labor induction abuse limits...

Dear Community, Asking these life altering questions, hoping for some good information. My two boys were brain damaged at birth by our Obstetrician by Pitocin abuse during induced labor at their birth. I have spent years researching it and I have tried to explain it to lawyers. However the...

Also, The ACOG - American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology, have recommended that every hospital come up with their protocols regarding when to stop labor induction and do a C-section. Plus the Pitocin drug label clearly states the contra-indication criteria on its labeling. Not sure if I...

Yes, he is non-verbal and has the maturity of a 2-3 year old at age 14. He also has other abnormal behaviours. So it is pretty serious. He will never be able to work and make a living, or drive his own car or have the skills for independent living. He has multiple foci of scars in his brain...
