Oregon birth injury lawyers are medical malpractice attorneys who have extensive experience in recovering compensation for infants injured as a result of medical negligence.
Every year, roughly 1.9 million American babies sustain a significant birth injury. Such traumas include (but aren't limited to):
In most cases, these birth injuries will require both immediate and long-term care.
Should your baby be diagnosed with a birth injury, it's essential that – in addition to medical attention – you seek legal help to find out if you and your newborn are entitled to compensation for any significant birth trauma. Oregon birth injury lawyers offer free initial consultations to encourage prospective plaintiffs to learn more about their legal rights.
Often, birth injuries result from unavoidable circumstances, such as genetic factors. However, when medical mistakes play a role in causing birth injuries, the resulting trauma is typically more serious and results in injuries that are harder to treat (if they are, in fact, curable at all).

In most cases, it takes several weeks to diagnose a birth injury, as babies won't show signs of physical or mental impairment until they are at least a few months old. Some of the immediate signs include bluish skin, poor muscle tone or seizures within the first few days of his or her life.
Oregon birth injury lawyers are familiar with the hospitals in Oregon and have likely filed birth injury lawsuits against them in the past. They will have a better sense of how to pursue your case and will serve as true advocates for you and your child.
