When a Medical Mistake
Changes a Life Forever.
If your child suffered a preventable injury during labor or delivery, you aren't just fighting for answers—you are fighting for their future. We help Nampa families secure funding for lifetime care.
The Standard of Care
Doctors and nurses in Idaho are required to meet a specific "Standard of Care." When they deviate from this standard, and an infant is harmed, it is medical malpractice.
- ✓ Failure to Monitor Fetal Heart Rate
- ✓ Delayed C-Section
- ✓ Improper Use of Forceps/Vacuum
- ✓ Medication Errors (Pitocin)
Fighting for the Truth in Idaho Delivery Rooms
The birth of a child should be a joyous occasion. But for too many families in Canyon County and the Treasure Valley, that joy turns to confusion and grief when a medical professional makes a preventable error. Hospitals often circle the wagons, offering vague explanations like "complications" or "bad luck."
At Nampa Injury Attorney, we dig for the truth. A birth injury is distinct from a birth defect. While defects are genetic, birth injuries are often caused by negligence during the labor and delivery process. We work with independent OB-GYN experts to review fetal monitoring strips and medical records to pinpoint exactly where the medical team failed your child.
Common Preventable Birth Injuries
We handle complex litigation involving injuries that result in permanent disability:
Cerebral Palsy (CP)
Often caused by oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) during birth. If a doctor failed to recognize fetal distress and delayed a C-section, they may be liable for the resulting brain damage.
Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
A type of brain dysfunction caused by a lack of blood flow and oxygen. HIE can lead to severe developmental delays, epilepsy, and cognitive impairment.
Erb's Palsy & Brachial Plexus Injuries
Often the result of Shoulder Dystocia, where the baby's shoulder gets stuck behind the mother's pelvic bone. If a doctor pulls too hard (traction) rather than using proper maneuvers, they can tear the nerves in the baby's neck and arm.
The High Cost of Raising a Special Needs Child
A birth injury settlement isn't a lottery ticket; it is a lifeline. The CDC estimates the lifetime cost of care for a person with Cerebral Palsy can exceed $1 million—and that doesn't account for inflation or specialized private care. We work with Life Care Planners to calculate the true cost of:
- • 24/7 Nursing Care
- • Wheelchairs & Adaptive Vans
- • Physical & Occupational Therapy
- • Special Education Tutors
- • Home Modifications
- • Future Lost Wages
Warning Signs of Malpractice
Did you experience any of these during labor?
- Prolonged labor (failure to progress).
- Baby needed resuscitation/NICU immediately.
- Use of vacuum extractor or forceps.
- Your concerns about pain were ignored.
- Emergency C-section was delayed.

Birth Injury Questions
How long do I have to file a birth injury lawsuit in Idaho?
While the standard statute of limitations for personal injury is two years, cases involving minors can be more complex. Idaho law may "toll" (pause) the statute for a child, but parents' claims for medical bills may expire sooner. It is critical to consult a lawyer immediately to preserve your rights.
How do you prove the doctor caused the injury?
We hire independent, board-certified medical experts to review the records. We look for specific evidence, such as pH levels in the umbilical cord blood (which can prove oxygen deprivation) and electronic fetal monitoring strips that show distress was ignored.
What does it cost to hire a birth injury lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis. We advance all costs for medical experts and court filings. You pay zero legal fees unless we win your case. If we don't recover money for your child, you owe us nothing.
