The Eisen Law Firm Impact

A sample of our successes in birth injury cases

Finding the right lawyer to handle your birth injury case can be the most important step in making sure that your baby’s medical needs will be provided for the rest of her life. We cannot undo the harm that was caused by a medical professional, but we can fight for you and obtain the best possible financial outcome, so that you have the means to provide the best possible medical care for your child. We are prepared to take our cases to trial if needed; we will not back down. The attorneys at The Eisen Law Firm are award-winning and consistently earn top marks by state and national rating agencies. Our sole focus is in medical malpractice. We know the medicine. We know the law.

The birth injury attorneys at The Eisen Law Firm have had multiple multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements. A verdict is a decision made by a jury on a given case. This means that the case went to trial, and the decision of fault and the dollar amount was decided by a group of individuals, or jurors, presided over by a judge. A settlement is the formal resolution of a lawsuit between the parties involved by mutual agreement. A jury is not involved here. Think of it as a written contract, where the medical provider agrees to pay you a sum of money, and in exchange, you agree to drop the lawsuit.

Knowing the dollar amount to ask for in a birth injury trial, or how much to settle the case for, takes years of experience, industry knowledge, and careful planning. We use a team of experts to help us understand the economic impact of your child’s medical needs. Life care planners, economists, medical personnel, and others are all involved in determining how we can help you and your baby become “whole” again. In other words, what will it take to assist you and your family so that you can live as though the medical error had never occurred? How can we help you and your child live a productive, happy life in your new normal?

Once a verdict or settlement is reached in your birth injury case, we work with you and financial planners to structure your money in the best way possible. Sometimes, we can help you take advantage of certain tax provisions that allow money received from an injury lawsuit to grow tax-free for years. With proper planning, settlement funds can last your child’s entire life.
