The defense of doctors in medical malpractice cases involving children [birth injury lawsuit], requires a unique understanding of special needs disability laws and services. SERAPH can assist attorneys in understanding federal, state and county laws such as Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

​

Life Care Plan: Cost of care determination – for the lifetime of the child – requires an understanding of all services legally provide by federal, state and county agencies.

 

SERAPH will provide a consultant’s report outlining:

​

• Care services for special needs children by the Federal government, state government and the county the child resides in.

• Qualified information regarding how these medical and support services are provided to children directly and through their LEA [Local education agency].

• Understanding of financial requirements for these services.

• Assessment of school documents related to this child to determine whether these documents meet federal [IDEA] requirements.
