Birth Injury Lawyer in Corte Madera, CA

When the joy of welcoming a new life is overshadowed by preventable birth injuries, families in Corte Madera, California need dedicated legal support. Birth injuries can lead to lifelong challenges, substantial medical expenses, and emotional distress for both the child and parents. Having a knowledgeable birth injury lawyer in Corte Madera can make a significant difference in securing the compensation your family deserves after such a traumatic experience.

Birth injuries differ from birth defects in that they are typically preventable and often result from medical negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. When healthcare providers fail to meet the standard of care expected in their profession, families have the right to seek legal recourse through a birth injury lawsuit.

Birth injuries can range from mild, temporary conditions to severe, permanent disabilities. Some of the most common birth injuries include:

• Cerebral Palsy
• Brachial Plexus Injuries (Erb's Palsy and Klumpke's Palsy)
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
• Intracranial Hemorrhage
• Skull Fractures
• Shoulder Dystocia
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Facial Paralysis
• Cephalohematoma
• Caput Succedaneum
• Fractures of the Clavicle or Collarbone
• Subconjunctival Hemorrhage

According to research published in the Journal of Perinatal Medicine, approximately 6-8 out of every 1,000 births in the United States involve some form of birth injury. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that proper prenatal care and appropriate interventions during labor can significantly reduce the risk of birth injuries.

California medical malpractice laws are intricate and challenging to navigate without legal expertise. A birth injury lawyer who understands the specific regulations in Marin County and California can:

• Interpret complex medical records
• Identify instances of negligence
• Calculate appropriate compensation
• Meet strict filing deadlines
• Handle negotiations with insurance companies
• Represent your interests in court if necessary

A birth injury lawyer from Moseley Collins Law will conduct a thorough evaluation of your case, considering:

• Medical records from pregnancy, labor, and delivery
• Expert medical opinions
• Long-term care needs for your child
• Emotional impact on your family
• Economic losses, including lost wages and medical expenses

To succeed in a birth injury lawsuit, your lawyer must establish that:

1. A doctor-patient relationship existed
2. The healthcare provider breached the standard of care
3. This breach directly caused the birth injury
4. The injury resulted in damages

With 40+ years of experience handling birth injury cases, Moseley Collins Law has the expertise to build a compelling case on your behalf.

The process begins with a free consultation with Moseley Collins Law. During this meeting, you'll discuss the circumstances of your child's birth injury, and we'll help determine if you have grounds for a lawsuit.

If we proceed with your case, our team will:

Many birth injury cases settle before reaching trial. Your lawyer will negotiate with the defendants' insurance companies to seek fair compensation. If a satisfactory settlement isn't reached, Moseley Collins Law is prepared to take your case to court.

• Difficulty feeding or sucking
• Arched back while crying
• Excessive drooling
• Seizures or muscle spasms
• Delayed developmental milestones
• Asymmetrical facial movements
• Limited range of motion in limbs
