Seattle Birth Injury Attorney
Putting Families First
Having a child is one of the greatest joys in life, and no parent should ever have to experience the heartache of seeing their baby suffer due to a birth injury. Unfortunately, birth injuries can occur either because of mistakes made during labor and delivery, what we call medical negligence, and the aftermath can be emotionally and financially devastating. If your child has suffered a birth injury due to medical negligence or mistakes during labor and delivery, you and your child may be entitled to compensation.

Reach Out to Our Seattle Birth Injury Attorneys Today
It is important that parents take action as soon as possible after their child has suffered a birth injury. Washington law limits the amount of time parents have to file a lawsuit in such cases. This time limit is known as the “statute of limitations”, and courts apply the limit strictly. Many factors go into determining the particular time limit in any given case, so you should not delay in contacting a birth injury attorney in Seattle to analyze that time limit. If you fail to file a suit before the time limit expires, your case can be dismissed from court.
