Birth injuries can change the course of your child's life before they ever get the chance to experience living as a healthy child. It's a horrible feeling to know that a doctor or nurse's mistake led to injuries that may never heal or that could lead to lasting disabilities.

If your child is hurt during birth, before birth or after you give birth to them — and those injuries are a result of medical errors — then you may have a claim. It's important to hold medical providers accountable when they make mistakes that impact your family.
