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. In Kent, Washington, and surrounding areas, Moseley Collins Law provides dedicated representation for families affected by birth injuries, with years of experience in medical malpractice cases.

Birth injuries can have devastating long-term impacts on both children and families. Medical professionals in Kent and across Washington state are required to maintain strict standards of care during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. When these standards are breached, resulting in injury, families have the right to seek compensation through legal action.

Kent families receive maternal and pediatric care at several major medical facilities:

• MultiCare Kent Clinic

Medical negligence during childbirth can result in various injuries, including:
