Corrections

The short answer

If something here is wrong, tell us. Errors on a site like this cost people something real.

Corrections are published rather than quietly edited, because a page that silently changes is a page you cannot check.

The numbers, up front

What to include
The page address, the specific sentence, what is wrong, and a source if you have one 1
What happens to clinical claims
They are checked against the cited source, and against current professional guidance where the claim is about a standard of care 1
What happens to legal claims
Statute citations are checked against the state's own published code, and removed if they cannot be confirmed 2
How corrections appear
The page is fixed, the last-reviewed date is updated, and material corrections are noted on this page 1

How to report an error

Before launch, this needs a working address. The contact address below is a placeholder and has to be replaced with a real, monitored inbox before the domain is attached. It is listed in the launch report for exactly this reason.

Write to: corrections@birthinjuryanswers.org

Please include:

  • The page address.
  • The specific sentence, quoted.
  • What is wrong with it.
  • A source, if you have one. A link to the guidance, the statute or the paper is the fastest route to a fix.
  • How you would like to be credited, or that you would rather not be.

You do not have to be a clinician or a lawyer to report an error. Parents catch things professionals do not, particularly where a page is confusing rather than wrong.

What happens next

Clinical claims are checked against the source cited on the page, and against current professional guidance where the claim is about a standard of care. If the source does not support the claim, the claim is changed or removed.

Legal claims, particularly statute citations, are checked against the state's own published code. If it cannot be confirmed, the citation is removed and the page says the deadline could not be verified, rather than leaving something that might be wrong.

Numbers are checked against the cited source and its year. If a figure cannot be tied to a primary source, it comes off the page and goes on the list at how we use sources.

Broken links are replaced or the source is removed.

Confusing writing is treated as an error. If a parent could not follow a page, that page failed.

How corrections are published

The page is fixed and the last-reviewed date is updated.

Material corrections are noted here, with the date, the page, and what changed. A material correction is one that could have changed a reader's understanding or a decision they might make.

Small fixes such as typographical errors and broken links are made without a note.

Nothing is quietly rewritten. If a page said something wrong about a standard of care, a deadline or a number, that is recorded rather than erased.

Published corrections

None yet. This site was first published in September 2026 and no corrections have been made.

When there are corrections, each entry here will show the date, the page, what was wrong and what it now says.

What this page is not for

Medical questions about your child. Nobody here can answer them, and it would be wrong to try. Talk to your child's doctor.

Legal questions about your case. Talk to an attorney licensed in your state. 2

Requests to be listed or linked. This site does not name, rank, list or refer to any attorney, law firm or provider, and that will not change.

If you are in crisis, call or text 988 in the United States, or call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline on 1-833-TLC-MAMA. 3
