Camarillo Birth Injury Lawyers

When the joy of welcoming a new life is overshadowed by medical negligence, families in Camarillo, California need experienced legal representation. Birth injuries can have life-altering consequences, affecting not only the child's future but also placing significant emotional and financial burdens on families. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand the complexities of birth injury cases and have dedicated over 40 years to advocating for families affected by medical malpractice during childbirth.

Birth injuries differ from natural birth defects, occurring due to complications during labor, delivery, or immediate postpartum care. While Camarillo boasts excellent healthcare facilities, medical negligence can still occur, leading to devastating consequences for newborns and their families.

Some frequently encountered birth injuries include:

• Cerebral Palsy results from oxygen deprivation during delivery, causing impaired muscle control and coordination. This condition often requires long-term medical care and rehabilitation support.
• Erb's Palsy involves damage to the brachial plexus nerves, typically caused by excessive force during difficult deliveries. This injury affects arm movement and sensation, sometimes leading to partial or complete paralysis of the affected limb.
• Shoulder Dystocia occurs when an infant's shoulders become lodged in the birth canal after the head has emerged. This emergency situation requires immediate medical intervention to prevent serious complications.
• Brain Damage can result from oxygen deprivation or physical trauma during birth. The effects may impact cognitive function, behavior, and physical development, often requiring comprehensive long-term care.
• Spinal Cord Injuries happen when delivery tools are used improperly or excessive force is applied during birth. These injuries can cause varying degrees of paralysis and may lead to lifelong mobility challenges.
• Facial Paralysis develops when pressure during delivery damages the facial nerves. While some cases resolve naturally, others may require ongoing medical treatment and therapy to restore proper facial muscle function.
