What Our Clients Say

"They're very thorough, very efficient, they get the job done."

-J.W.

Though births are safer each year, the incidence of birth injury, a term referring to damage to an infant that is sustained during the process of labor and childbirth, is all too high in the United States. Between six and eight babies per 1,000 born are traumatized during birth due to restricted oxygen or blood flow, traction, medical malpractice, or compression due to forceps or suction devices. And the impact can be life-threatening and life-long, with results ranging from skull fractures and abrasions to brain injury, hematomas and even cerebral palsy.

A baby's head, bones, brain, and nerves can all sustain damage during childbirth. While susceptibility to birth injury can seem random, some factors such as a mother's small birth canal, breech delivery, need for C-section, or large fetus can lead to specific birth injuries. Some birth injuries cannot be prevented - but others are due to negligent doctors who commit malpractice.

The Bernard Law Group represents clients throughout the State of Washington, including the following areas:

When doctors make mistakes that lead to birth injury, parents have the right to sue them in civil court for monetary and punitive damages related to their child's injury. Common mistakes include misdiagnosis of a newborn, failure to properly deal with preterm labor or order a C-section, uncalled-for or botched use of suction or forceps, or failure to appropriately respond to situations such as bleeding or to anticipate complications during a delivery.
