ATTORNEY JACK D. RAY: Birth injuries can be among the most challenging cases for any plaintiff’s attorney to handle. And the reason for that is that in a birth there are a lot of different factors that go into consideration in so many different ways that things can go wrong. Some of those things are unavoidable. And no one should be blamed for them. And certainly we would never be in the position of trying to cast blame and creating doubts in someone’s mind where those should not exist. But we view our role really as analyzing those things and helping the family, helping the parents come to an understanding of what it was that happened and why it happened. Sometimes, what it was that happened and why it happened is not well explained to the family and there is a good reason for that. If it is because of substandard care and it has led to significant injuries, then those are the kinds of things that really need to be compensated. It isn’t an issue so much for the parents as it is for the child. Because if a child is going to be seriously injured, if they are going to be disabled and have significant needs throughout the rest of their life, those needs need to be accommodated. And really, the only way to do that is to make sure that they are fairly analyzed and that they are fairly compensated. And in order to do that, it requires again bringing to bear people from a great number of specialties, periontologist, neonatologists, neuropsychologists, pediatric neurologists, obstetricians, people across a broad spectrum of expertise.
