When the joy of welcoming a new child is overshadowed by medical negligence, Moseley Collins Law stands ready to help families in Rohnert Park and surrounding Sonoma County communities. With over 40 years of experience handling birth injury cases, our dedicated legal team understands the profound impact these injuries can have on both children and their families. We combine extensive medical knowledge with skilled legal advocacy to pursue justice for those affected by preventable birth injuries.

Birth injuries can occur before, during, or immediately after delivery, often due to medical negligence or improper care. While many births in Rohnert Park proceed without complications, when medical professionals fail to meet the standard of care, the consequences can be devastating for families.

Medical negligence during labor and delivery can result in various serious conditions:

• Cerebral Palsy: A neurological disorder affecting movement and muscle coordination, often caused by oxygen deprivation during birth.
• Erb's Palsy: Injury to the brachial plexus nerves, typically occurring during difficult deliveries, affecting arm movement and sensation.
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage resulting from insufficient oxygen supply during the birthing process.
• Shoulder Dystocia: A birth complication where the baby's shoulders become lodged in the birth canal, potentially causing nerve damage.
• Skull Fractures: Injuries that can occur due to improper use of delivery instruments or excessive force during delivery.

Several hospitals serve the Rohnert Park community:

• Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital
• Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa Medical Center
• Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital
• Petaluma Valley Hospital
