Birth Injury Lawyer in Healdsburg, CA

When the joy of welcoming a new life into the world turns into concern due to birth-related complications, families in Healdsburg, California need reliable legal support. Birth injuries can cause lasting physical, emotional, and financial challenges for both children and their parents. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand the complex nature of birth injury cases and provide compassionate representation to families seeking justice in Healdsburg and surrounding Sonoma County communities.

Birth injuries differ from birth defects in that they result from complications during labor or delivery rather than genetic factors. When medical professionals fail to follow the standard of care, resulting in harm to the infant or mother, families may have grounds for a birth injury lawsuit.

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

• Cerebral Palsy: Often caused by oxygen deprivation during birth, cerebral palsy affects muscle control and coordination.
• Brachial Plexus Injuries: Including Erb's Palsy and Klumpke's Palsy, these injuries affect the network of nerves controlling the shoulder, arm, and hand.
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage resulting from insufficient oxygen and blood flow during birth.
• Fractures: Particularly clavicle (collarbone) and femur fractures during difficult deliveries.
• Intracranial Hemorrhage: Bleeding within the skull, potentially causing brain damage.
• Caput Succedaneum and Cephalohematoma: Swelling of the soft tissues of the baby's scalp.
• Facial Paralysis: Pressure during birth can damage facial nerves.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Can result in partial or complete paralysis.

Birth injury cases require thorough investigation and expert analysis. Our team at Moseley Collins Law works with experts to review medical records, identify deviations from the standard of care, and establish causation between negligence and your child's injury.

Multiple parties may be responsible for a birth injury, including:

• Obstetricians and gynecologists
• Nurses and midwives
• Anesthesiologists
• Hospitals and medical facilities
• Pharmaceutical companies (in cases involving medication errors)

We carefully analyze all aspects of your case to identify all potentially liable parties.

Birth injuries often result in significant financial burdens for families. A birth injury lawsuit may seek compensation for:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Rehabilitation and therapy costs
• Specialized equipment and home modifications
• Loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress

Our team works with medical, economic, and life-care planning experts to accurately calculate the full extent of damages your family has suffered and will continue to face.
