A proven record of verdicts and settlements
Medical malpractice can affect your child in drastic ways during pregnancy, labor and delivery. Negligence or a preventable mistake by a practitioner or medical center could compromise your infant’s health, safety and wellness – sometimes with permanent repercussions. A physician failing to monitor infant vital signs during delivery, for example, could lead to prolonged loss of oxygen for the infant and a lifelong condition such as cerebral palsy.

Our team of trial lawyers is driven to pursue justice for the injured, ensuring that the responsible parties are held accountable. With a high success rate both in and out of the courtroom, you can trust our Oregon personal injury lawyers to be the legal advocates you need so your voice can be heard.
If someone else negligently or recklessly caused your child’s birth injury, you have rights as a parent in Washington. The at-fault party may be legally responsible, or liable, for your damages. The civil justice system enables you to seek financial restitution from the at-fault party for causing your child’s injury or illness. You may be eligible for compensation if you or an attorney can prove four main elements.
Damages recoverable in a personal injury lawsuit can include medical payments, rehabilitation, therapy, special education, legal fees, investigative costs, the price of hiring a medical expert, and your related lost wages as a parent if you had to miss work. Our lawyers can help you add up the damages related to your child’s birth injury and go up against a powerful defendant in Ridgefield in pursuit of fair compensation.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
No Fees Unless We Win
In Washington, you will generally have three years from the date of the alleged incident to file a medical malpractice claim.
