Every state, with its own county numbers

Every state, ranked by how thin the legal capacity is

Births divided by Offices-of-Lawyers establishments. It is a crude ratio and it says nothing about whether those lawyers do birth injury work, but it is the fastest way to see where demand sits furthest from supply. The national median for counties with 500 or more births is 34.3.

Births per lawyer office, twelve highest states. State-level births in 2024 divided by Offices-of-Lawyers establishments. Tennessee 37.3Indiana 35.8South Dakota 35.1Wisconsin 35.0North Dakota 34.9Kansas 31.8Utah 31.8Nebraska 31.6Ohio 31.2Alaska 31.0Iowa 30.7Minnesota 30.4
Figure 1: the twelve states with the fewest lawyer offices per birth. A high ratio means demand is spread across comparatively few firms. It is a starting point for where to look, not a conclusion about competition.

Where births happen with no delivering hospital in the county

A county recording births with no confirmed delivering hospital means those families travelled to give birth. That matters for a birth injury firm, because the defendant hospital and the client's home county are often not the same place, and media bought on residence will miss the facility.

Counties recording births with no confirmed delivering hospital, twelve highest states. Counties with 2024 births where CMS confirms no inpatient labour and delivery service.

Figure 2: counties where residence and delivery geography come apart. Nationally 1,217 counties recorded births in 2024 with no confirmed delivering hospital, covering 296,913 births.

Clinical measures and legal measures are never joined on this site. Adverse-event rates describe medicine; litigation describes a legal process. Where both appear together it is to describe a market, not to suggest that one predicts the other.
