More Than a Life-Changing Injury
It’s a profound tragedy when a birth injury happens. But when a birth injury could have been avoided—but wasn’t—it’s more than a tragedy. It’s an injustice.
Most preventable birth injuries happen from the malpractice of medical professionals. But what is a birth injury? It’s any harm caused to an infant during birth. Some injuries, like Cerebral Palsy, can cause lifelong disabilities that require special medical care.
Has your loved one suffered any of the following birth injuries?
- Brachial plexus
- Cephalohematoma
- Cerebral Palsy
- Erb’s Palsy
- Facial paralysis
- Fractured collarbones
- Oxygen deprivation
- Perinatal asphyxia
- Spinal cord injuries
If your loved one suffered a birth injury because of medical malpractice, you’ll need a birth injury attorney to fight for your justice. Did you know we offer free consultations? Simply fill out this form to see if you have a case.
We Fight for Justice. And Compensation.
A person with a birth injury may have lifelong medical bills because of someone else’s irresponsibility. When a baby suffers a preventable injury at the hands of a negligent healthcare professional, it’s not just a legal issue—it’s an injustice. Some reasons for compensation may include:
- Lost wages or lost earning potential
- Medical procedures, like surgeries
- Medication
- Pain and suffering
- Past and future medical bills
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Special education
- Speech therapy
- Other injury-associated costs
Tacoma-Based Birth Injury Lawyers Who Fight for You
With over 60 years of experience, we know how to get results. Personal injury law is a maze to many—but not to us.
- We’ll offer you a free consultation. We’ll learn every important fact of your unique story. After we develop a winning plan for your case, we’ll get right to work on your behalf.
- We’ll investigate your case. From ordering and analyzing medical records to collecting witnesses’ statements, we’ll gather evidence to give you more than a fighting chance.
- We’ll negotiate settlement terms. Most personal injury cases are settled out of court. This is an advantage for the injured party since the medical professional who committed the malpractice will likely wish to avoid any negative publicity.
- We file a lawsuit, if necessary. If there’s no settlement agreement yet, a lawsuit may be the best course of action. To prepare for the trial, we’ll conduct depositions, or testimonies given under oath, which are accepted by the court as evidence.
