Why We Do This Work
Behind every birth injury case is a family whose world changed in an instant. A mother who carried her child for nine months, dreaming of that first cry, that first smile, those first steps. A father who imagined teaching his child to ride a bike, to read, to navigate the world. And then, in a moment—or over the course of a difficult delivery—everything changed.
We've sat across from parents in our conference rooms, watching them try to hold it together as they describe what should have been the happiest day of their lives. We've seen mothers break down as they explain how they knew something was wrong, how they told the nurses, how they begged for help that came too late.
These moments stay with you. They change you. They remind you why this work matters.
For some families, the signs are immediate. A baby who doesn't cry. A newborn who struggles to breathe. For others, the realization comes more slowly—missed milestones, developmental delays, a diagnosis that shatters the future they'd imagined. But in either case, the question is always the same: Could this have been prevented?
