With over 40 years of experience handling birth injury cases, our dedicated legal team helps families navigate the complex medical malpractice system while fighting for the compensation they deserve.

Birth injuries can occur during pregnancy, labor, or delivery when medical professionals fail to meet the standard of care. These injuries can have lifelong implications for both the child and family, often requiring extensive medical treatment and ongoing care.

Medical negligence during childbirth can result in various serious conditions:

• Cerebral Palsy (CP): A neurological disorder affecting muscle coordination and movement, often caused by oxygen deprivation during birth.
• Erb's Palsy: Damage to the brachial plexus nerves affecting arm movement and sensation, typically resulting from excessive force during delivery.
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage caused by insufficient oxygen supply during birth, potentially leading to developmental delays and cognitive impairments.
• Shoulder Dystocia: A birth complication where the baby's shoulders become stuck during delivery, potentially causing nerve damage or broken bones.

Pleasant Hill residents have access to several quality healthcare facilities. However, even the best hospitals can experience instances of medical negligence. Local medical centers include:
