Maximizing Compensation in Birth Injury Claims

The recovery of financial compensation is the end result of a successful birth injury or medical malpractice case, helping injured patients and families who have lost loved ones begin the process of rebuilding. It also serves to bring at-fault parties to justice for their negligence or wrongdoing. At the Law Firm of Michael H. Bereston, we are proud of the results we have been able to achieve through our 30 years in practice. We have recovered a number of multi-million-dollar settlements for our clients, including over $26.5 million recovered over 4 recent birth injury cases, and $2.5 million in a recent medical malpractice case.

These cases required a detailed investigation and review by experts in collaboration with Mr. Bereston and his staff. The outcomes of these cases involve confidential settlements which prevent disclosure of the identity of the parties and publication of the monetary amount.

Special Needs Trust

All of our birth injury recoveries result in the formation of a court-approved special needs trust with a trustee assigned to protect the net assets recovered on behalf of the disabled child. The trust is solely for the benefit of the injured baby and provides protection for the baby’s funds.
