Birth injuries can have lifelong impacts on both children and their families. While Clallam County benefits from quality healthcare facilities, medical errors during labor and delivery can still occur.

• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy
• (HIE) - Brain damage from oxygen deprivation
• Bone Fractures - Particularly of the clavicle or skull
