Birth injuries differ from birth defects in that they result from complications during the labor and delivery process rather than genetic factors. Many birth injuries are preventable and occur due to medical negligence or improper care during pregnancy, labor, or delivery.

Birth injuries can range from mild conditions that resolve with time to severe impairments requiring lifelong care. Some of the most frequently encountered birth injuries include:

• Cerebral Palsy: A neurological disorder affecting movement and muscle coordination, often caused by oxygen deprivation during birth
• Brachial Plexus Injuries: Damage to the network of nerves controlling the shoulder, arm, and hand, commonly resulting in conditions like Erb's palsy
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage resulting from insufficient oxygen and blood flow to the brain
• Skull Fractures: Breaks in the infant's skull bones during difficult deliveries
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord that may result in partial or complete paralysis
• Facial Paralysis: Temporary or permanent loss of facial muscle control due to pressure on facial nerves
• Caput Succedaneum: Swelling of the soft tissues of the baby's scalp
• Cephalohematoma: Collection of blood between the periosteum and skull bone
• Subconjunctival Hemorrhage: Breakage of small blood vessels in the eyes
• Shoulder Dystocia: When the infant's shoulder becomes lodged behind the mother's pubic bone during delivery

Determining whether your child's birth injury resulted from medical negligence requires careful investigation and expert analysis. Consider consulting a birth injury lawyer if:

• Your child was diagnosed with a condition that may have resulted from birth trauma
• There were complications during labor or delivery that weren't properly addressed
• Medical professionals failed to perform a timely cesarean section when needed
• Improper use of delivery tools such as forceps or vacuum extractors occurred
• Prenatal care appeared inadequate or warning signs were missed
• Your medical team failed to properly monitor fetal distress during labor

At Moseley Collins Law, we provide comprehensive legal support for families affected by birth injuries in Galt and throughout California. Our approach includes:

Our team works with experts to review medical records, identify deviations from the standard of care, and establish the connection between medical negligence and your child's injury.

Birth injuries often require extensive ongoing care. We carefully assess current and future medical needs, rehabilitation costs, special education requirements, adaptive equipment, lost income for caregiving parents, and pain and suffering to ensure your family receives fair compensation.

Insurance companies representing healthcare providers often attempt to minimize payouts. With our extensive experience in birth injury cases, we skillfully negotiate to protect your family's interests and fight for the compensation you deserve.

While many cases settle before trial, we prepare each case as if it will go to court. Our trial-ready approach often leads to more favorable settlement offers, and when necessary, we have the courtroom experience to effectively present your case to a jury.

We offer free consultations to discuss your situation and help determine if you have a viable birth injury case. Even if we cannot represent you, we will point you in the right direction to get the help you need.

Families in Galt have access to several healthcare facilities in the area and nearby communities. While these hospitals strive to provide quality care, birth injuries can unfortunately occur at any facility:

• Adventist Health Lodi Memorial
• Kaiser Permanente South Sacramento Medical Center
• Dignity Health Methodist Hospital of Sacramento
• Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento

California law recognizes birth injuries resulting from medical negligence as a form of medical malpractice. To succeed in a birth injury claim, your legal team must establish:

1. A doctor-patient relationship existed, creating a duty of care
2. The healthcare provider breached the standard of care
3. This breach directly caused your child's injuries
4. Your family suffered quantifiable damages as a result
