National Military Birth Injury Attorneys

The Importance of the Administrative Claim in Military Birth Injury Cases

Hiring a lawyer who is not familiar with the intricacies of the FTCA claims process can result in disaster and an inability to secure compensation. A successful birth injury claim brought against a military healthcare provider must begin with the timely presentation of an administrative claim to the Army, Navy, or Air Force. A case often does not stop here, but it can certainly be lost here. 

If your legal representation does not properly present your administrative claim, it may affect the outcome of your case. Our team at National Trial Law has presented hundreds of administrative claims to the Army, Navy, and Air Force. 

Litigating Birth Injury Cases in Federal Court

If a case is not resolved administratively with a pre-suit settlement, the next step is to file a lawsuit in federal court and litigate the claim. Litigating a birth injury case is a complex and expensive process, often costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, that few legal professionals can successfully navigate or finance. Our law firm is prepared to take on the case expenses at no risk to our clients, who never owe attorney’s fees unless we recover on their behalf. We have the resources to level the playing field between your family and the seemingly limitless assets of the Army, Navy, or Air Force. 

Leveraging Medical Experts to Strengthen Your Case

When litigating a birth injury case, our firm searches for top experts to testify on behalf of our clients. These experts can include obstetricians, maternal-fetal specialists, neonatologists, perinatologists, pediatric neurologists, pediatric neuro-radiologists, placental pathologists, labor and delivery nurses, physical rehabilitation doctors, life care planners, and economists. We always seek esteemed providers and optimal evidence to build a multimedia trial presentation that tells your story in the most compelling way possible.

Our firm also employs a full-time, in-house labor and delivery charge nurse to help review and prepare our complex birth injury cases. RN Aline Jordan began working in Labor and Delivery at Brackenridge Hospital, a Level 3 teaching facility in Austin. Over the ensuing seven years, she became the charge nurse on the night shift and participated in the creation of policies and procedures as well as in-house services. Her next move was to the Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Seton Hospital, where she learned how to deliver care to the sickest of newborns. She followed two of her primary care babies home and continued to provide them with in-home pediatric care over the next few years. She now proudly serves as a member of our firm’s staff.

Game-Changing Appellate Experience

Our national military birth injury lawyers have extensive experience handling appeals in these cases. Our team has argued birth injury and medical malpractice appeals before the 4^th, 5^th, 6^th, 8^th , 9^th, and 10^th Circuits. We have represented clients before both the Texas Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court. Beyond obtaining historic recoveries and lifetime benefits for our clients on appeal, our legal professionals have secured crucial victors that reverse decades of precedent, allowing children of military families access to courts that were previously denied. 

Many lawyers have never handled an appeal. Our attorneys have shaped the law in appellate courts to help families affected by military birth injuries, and we have been hired by other firms to argue appeals because of our track record of successfully handling FTCA claims.
