Thanks for requesting a copy of our book, Birth Injury Lawsuits: A Parent’s Guide.

If you think your child may have been injured as a result of medical malpractice you probably have a lot of questions like:

Is my baby going to be okay?
How do I find out what happened to my child?
How am I going to pay for my baby’s medical and rehabilitation expenses?
How do I make sure this doesn’t happen to someone else’s baby?

The members of The Birth Injury Lawyers Alliance have written a Consumer Education Guide, the most comprehensive of its kind in Canada, to provide some peace of mind to parents of children who may have been injured due to preventable medical errors and to answer the most common questions we are asked about birth injury claims.

Here’s what people have to say about the Guide:

I really liked the book Birth Injury Lawsuits – A Parent’s Guide by the Birth Injury Lawyers Alliance. I thought it was well done, well thought out, thorough, and made a clear pathway for parents considering a birth injury medical malpractice lawsuit.
I like how the book says “This guide can be helpful…it might be too overwhelming…when you feel ready.” I think that is important for families to know, especially since they are already feeling so overwhelmed with their situation.
Chapter 2 explains the kinds of injuries can happen. Most parents have no idea.
Chapter 3 explaining how the electronic fetal monitor works. I LOVED that the book explains accelerations and decelerations and what they mean for the baby.
My favourite is Chapter 4 because it explains all the benefits of a BILA lawyer in a simplistic and straightforward way.
Overall it’s a great book that I think all families considering a birth injury lawsuit should have first. Like the book says, if the book is too overwhelming just read the book in your own time when you feel ready. Also, you can skip to the end of the book and use the step-by-step action guide as well as the resource section. Monique Chisholm
