Our dedicated team understands the emotional and financial challenges families face when dealing with birth injuries, and we're committed to seeking justice and compensation for affected families.

Birth injuries can have devastating long-term consequences for both children and their families. While Manhattan Beach boasts excellent medical facilities, medical negligence during childbirth can still occur. When healthcare providers fail to meet the accepted standard of care, families have the right to seek legal recourse.

During childbirth, various complications can lead to serious injuries. Some of the most frequently encountered birth injuries include:

• Cerebral Palsy represents one of the most serious neurological conditions that can occur during birth. This condition affects the brain's ability to control muscle movement and coordination.
• Erb's Palsy occurs when excessive force or improper delivery techniques damage the brachial plexus, a complex network of nerves connecting the spine to the arm and hand.
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) develops when an infant's brain experiences a severe lack of oxygen during the birthing process.
• Shoulder Dystocia presents a critical emergency during delivery when the infant's shoulders become lodged behind the mother's pubic bone after the head has emerged.
• Spinal Cord Injuries may occur during difficult deliveries, particularly when medical professionals use excessive force or improperly apply delivery assistance tools such as forceps or vacuum extractors.

Each of these birth injuries can have profound implications for both the child's development and the family's future, potentially requiring extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation services, and long-term care planning.
