Medical malpractice by any team member involved in a mother’s pregnancy or the delivery of her child could lead to a serious and preventable birth injury for the infant. Medical malpractice refers to going outside of the accepted standards of care in the medical industry – often resulting in harm to patients. When medical malpractice causes a birth injury, the family may be eligible for financial damages.

Discovering that your child has an injury acquired during, before or shortly after birth can be distressing as a parent. You might immediately wonder if someone else was to blame – such as a doctor who should have been protecting your best interests and that of your unborn child. Not every birth injury will give you grounds to file a lawsuit, however. Medical malpractice must be behind your infant’s injury to file in Tacoma.
In general, you or your medical malpractice attorney have to prove that the defendant owed you a duty of care, did not fulfill this duty and in doing so caused your child’s birth injury. A lawyer from Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC can help you gather evidence to prove the elements necessary to obtain compensation. We can represent you during a claim based on any type of medical negligence and birth injury in Washington.
