Birth injuries are not the same thing as genetic birth defects. According to Birth Defect Research for Children, a “birth defect is a health condition or illness that forms while the infant is still in the womb whereas a birth injury occurs while the mother is in labor or in the process of delivery.” One way to look at it is, if a different, responsible doctor had been operating in the place of your doctor, would the injuries you or your child sustained have still occurred? Did your delivery team do something wrong or fail to do something they should have done?

In the past, there was a law limiting the compensation for non-economic damages a birth injury or other medical malpractice victim could be awarded to no more than $500,000 against a doctor or healthcare professional and up to $1 million against a hospital or other healthcare facility. Later, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled this law unconstitutional so the state overturned the statute limiting medical malpractice non-economic damages in 2010.

Client Reviews
This law firm is absolutely amazing. They took on my case, when nobody else would! They fought hard for me when it seemed there was no hope. They kept me informed and always asked for my input before making decisions on my case. Gary puts himself into every case unlike most law firm owners. Gary and his team really care about every one of their clients, and fights hard to get you a fair settlement. They actually won my case out of court, and then reduced my fees to make sure I could get my car fixed and be able to get back to some normality. I would recommend Burger Law over and above any other firm! If you go somewhere else you aren’t getting the best!
