One of the most exciting times in a couple’s life is when they are expecting a baby. Once they learn a baby is on the way and get that due date, all the anticipation and planning begins. That due date is not only important for making preparations for the baby’s arrival, but it is also critical to ensure the progression of the pregnancy is properly monitored and mother and baby are receiving the appropriate prenatal care. And while it is rare that a woman delivers the baby on the actual due date – typically delivery occurs a few days before or after – when there has been a significant miscalculation of the due date, both the baby and the mother’s health can be put at significant risk. An Illinois malpractice attorney can help families who have suffered injuries and losses in these types of cases.

How Is the Due Date Calculated?

Once a doctor has confirmed a woman is pregnant, they will calculate her due date. The first step is determining the first day of the mother’s last menstrual period, counting back three calendar months from that date, and then adding one year and seven days. This will be the estimated due date – which is actually 280 days, beginning with the first day of the mother’s last period.

One of the most common questions that our clients who have filed car accident claims ask is how long it will take for their case to settle. There are a variety of factors that impact the length of time for a case to resolve, either by settlement or by trial. The following is a brief overview of these factors. For more detailed information regarding your particular situation, speak to one of our Illinois car accident attorneys.

How Severe Are the Injuries?

One of the most important factors in a car accident claim timeline is how severe the injuries you sustained are. The timeline will most likely be sped up if you sustained minor injuries. If you have sustained more serious injuries, it will take longer to determine whether your injuries will leave you with long-term or permanent health issues. If the case settles too soon, you could lose out on the financial compensation you are entitled to for future medical care and disabilities.

One of the most serious injuries that people can sustain in car accidents is a brain injury. In fact, car accidents are one of the leading causes of brain injuries, causing different degrees of damage to the brain, depending on the force of the crash impact and other circumstances of the accident.

What Are Some Ways the Brain Can Be Injured in a Crash?

One of the most common causes of brain injuries in a car accident is when the head of the driver or passenger makes an impact on the dashboard, windshield, or steering wheel. This often occurs if the vehicle comes to a sudden stop and the person’s head – which is unrestrained – strikes one of these hard surfaces.

A person can also suffer a brain injury if their head and neck are jerked back and forth during the crash impact. This whipping motion often results in whiplash, but it can also cause the brain to rotate within the skull, causing damage to brain tissue. This is referred to as a rotational or acceleration-deceleration injury.
