Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Signs That I Need a Cephalohematoma Lawyer in Hartford?
You should seek guidance from a cephalohematoma lawyer in Hartford if your child shows signs of unusual swelling on the head after birth or if you were informed of a traumatic delivery—particularly if instruments like forceps or vacuum extractors were used. Other indicators include prolonged hospital stays, unexpected complications, or concerns about how the birth was managed. If you feel you haven’t received clear answers from your care team or suspect that negligence contributed to your child’s cephalohematoma, it’s best to consult with an attorney. Prompt action is essential due to Connecticut’s statutes of limitations and the need to preserve evidence from local Hartford hospitals or birth centers. An initial consultation will help you understand whether you have a claim worth pursuing, and at RisCassi & Davis, P.C., we offer free, confidential evaluations for families facing these circumstances.
How Long Do I Have to File a Cephalohematoma Claim in Connecticut?
Connecticut law sets strict time limits, known as statutes of limitations, for filing medical malpractice or birth injury claims—including those involving cephalohematoma. Generally, you have two years from the date when the injury is discovered or reasonably should have been discovered. However, there are circumstances, especially when the injury affects a child, that may extend or modify these deadlines. Understanding the specific filing requirements and deadlines for Hartford-based claims is important because courts may dismiss untimely cases. Our team assesses your situation, determines the applicable statute, and ensures all filings comply with Hartford Superior Court procedures. Acting early not only helps secure necessary evidence from local hospitals but also provides your family with answers and a sense of control as you move forward.
What Compensation Could My Family Receive?
Each cephalohematoma injury claim is unique, and compensation depends on the injury’s severity and its impact on your child’s life. Generally, Hartford families may recover for current and future medical expenses, therapies, specialized care, and adaptive equipment, if needed. In addition, compensation may include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of earning capacity for your child, and additional out-of-pocket costs. We work closely with medical experts in Hartford and across Connecticut to build a thorough assessment of your family’s current and potential future needs. Our attention to detail and commitment to trial preparation means we advocate for maximum compensation—giving you greater peace of mind as you plan for your child’s future needs.
