Birth injuries can occur during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or immediately after birth. These injuries often result from medical negligence or improper care, potentially leading to lifelong complications. In Washington, healthcare providers must maintain specific standards of care, and when these standards are breached, families have the right to seek legal recourse.

Birth injuries can manifest in various forms, each requiring specialized medical attention and ongoing care:

• Cerebral Palsy
• Erb's Palsy and Brachial Plexus Injuries
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
• Shoulder Dystocia
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Facial Paralysis
• Fractures and Bone Injuries
• Intracranial Hemorrhage
