Birth Injury Lawyer in Covington, WA

When the joy of welcoming a new child is overshadowed by a preventable birth injury, families need experienced legal support to secure their child's future. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand the emotional and financial challenges that birth injuries bring to families in Covington, Washington, and the surrounding areas. With years of experience handling birth injury cases, our dedicated legal team helps families navigate the complex medical malpractice system while fighting for the compensation they deserve.

Birth-related medical complications can arise at any point - from pregnancy through delivery and the immediate postpartum period. While certain complications may be unavoidable despite proper medical care, a significant number of birth injuries stem from preventable medical errors and substandard care practices. Healthcare providers have a professional and legal obligation to deliver care that meets established medical standards.

When they fail to uphold this duty of care, resulting in injury to mother or child, families may pursue legal recourse to obtain compensation for medical costs, ongoing therapeutic needs, and related damages. This compensation helps ensure affected families can access the comprehensive care and support services their child requires, both immediately and over the long term.

Understanding the various types of birth injuries helps families recognize when they may need legal assistance:

Cerebral palsy, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), and brain damage can result from oxygen deprivation or physical trauma during delivery. These conditions often require lifelong care and support.

Brachial plexus injuries, shoulder dystocia, and fractures may occur during difficult deliveries or when improper delivery techniques are used. While some injuries heal with time, others can cause permanent disability.

Organ damage, internal bleeding, and other complications can arise from medication errors, delayed C-sections, or misuse of delivery instruments.
