A relative of ours went through something similar after a delayed C section, and the hardest part was not knowing whether the case was even worth pursuing. While helping them look, I noticed that most pages speak in very general terms, while only a few actually name the situations they deal with, such as oxygen deprivation, cerebral palsy or shoulder dystocia. One referral page was clear about that and about how families get matched with attorneys, and if you want to check the details yourself Call Michael Brook is where that information is set out. What mattered most to them in the end was talking to someone who works specifically with pediatric cases rather than general malpractice, since the medical records alone take a lot of expertise to read properly. My own takeaway is simple, look for concrete descriptions of the process and clear terms before you commit to anything.
