Birth Injury Lawyer in Lincoln County, WA

When the joy of welcoming a new child is overshadowed by a preventable birth injury, families need experienced legal support to help them navigate the challenging road ahead. In Lincoln County, Washington, Moseley Collins Law provides dedicated representation for families affected by birth injuries, combining years of experience with deep medical knowledge to advocate for injured children and their families.

Birth injuries can have lasting impacts on both children and families, requiring extensive medical care and ongoing support. While Lincoln County's healthcare facilities strive to maintain high standards of care, medical negligence during labor and delivery can still occur, leading to devastating consequences.

Lincoln County residents primarily receive obstetric care at these facilities:

• Lincoln Hospital (Davenport)
• Odessa Memorial Healthcare Center
• Coulee Medical Center (nearby in Grand Coulee)

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

• Cerebral Palsy
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
• Brain damage due to oxygen deprivation
• Seizure disorders

• Brachial plexus injuries
• Erb's Palsy
• Shoulder dystocia
• Fractures
• Spinal cord injuries

Recent medical research highlights the significance of birth injuries:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 7 in 1,000 births involve birth injuries. The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) reports that birth injuries can result in extended hospital stays and significant medical expenses, often exceeding standard delivery costs by tens of thousands of dollars.
