FAQs:
Birth Injuries in Washington
No. Some complications occur even with excellent care. We carefully compare the medical record with accepted standards and determine whether different choices could have prevented the harm. Families deserve clear answers, whether the delivery happened in Spokane, Puyallup, or anywhere in Washington.
Compensation may include:
• Medical care • Therapies • Adaptive equipment • Home and vehicle modifications • Educational supports • Lost earning capacity
It may also include non-economic damages, such as pain and disruption to family life.
We ground these numbers in a credible life-care plan, so your child's needs are not overlooked, today or in the future.
Most birth injury claims must be filed within three years of when the mistake happened, or within one year of when it was discovered. In many cases, there is also an eight-year outer limit. Different rules may apply for children, like in cases where something was hidden or if a surgical object was left behind. We track every deadline so you don't have to.
Hospital insurers rarely offer full value until a lawsuit is filed. If that step becomes necessary, we guide you through the process, explain what to expect, and keep you updated so there are no surprises.
Birth injury cases are complex and often tied to your child's medical progress. We wait for a medical plateau to fully understand long-term needs. Throughout the process, we keep steady pressure on the insurer and provide regular updates, so you are never left wondering what is happening.
