A lawyer can help in a retinopathy of prematurity claim by proving the medical negligence that led to your baby’s current condition. Medical negligence means one or more of the health care professionals who treated you and your baby:
- Owed you a standard of care
- Breached the required standard
- Caused your infant’s eye damage
- Led to financial damages
A lawyer may also help by consulting medical experts to establish whether or not your child’s condition could have been prevented if you had received the acceptable standard of care.
If you and the other party’s insurance company cannot agree on a fair settlement, the lawyer who represents you may also be able to ensure your lawsuit is filed in time to comply with the relevant statute of limitations and any additional time constraints that might jeopardize your lawsuit if overlooked.

File Your Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) Lawsuit on Time
When you seek compensation from the medical professional whose negligence may have led to your child’s diagnosis of ROP financially liable, your state imposes a predetermined deadline on the amount of time you have to do so.
If the allotted time expires, your ability to legally compel them to compensate you may expire with it. The best way to ensure compliance is to consult a birth injury law firm that is familiar with the laws in your state right away.
Filing your lawsuit on time has additional advantages. It allows your legal team time to navigate the complex settlement process and weigh each offer carefully. If your ROP lawsuit cannot be resolved with a financial settlement, your legal team also has time to prepare your lawsuit for court.
