Birth Injury Lawyer in Concord, CA

When the joy of welcoming a new life is overshadowed by medical negligence, families in Concord, California need experienced legal support. Birth injuries can have devastating long-term consequences, affecting not only the child's quality of life 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-related medical complications can arise at any point from pregnancy through the immediate postpartum period. While certain birth complications occur despite the highest standard of medical care, evidence shows that many serious injuries stem from preventable medical errors or substandard care practices. For families confronting these devastating circumstances, understanding their legal rights and available options for recourse becomes essential for securing their child's future care needs.

Medical negligence during childbirth can lead to various serious conditions:

• Cerebral Palsy: A neurological disorder affecting muscle coordination and body movement
• Erb's Palsy: Nerve damage affecting arm movement and sensation
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation
• Shoulder Dystocia: Complications during delivery leading to shoulder injury
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spine during delivery
• Facial Paralysis: Nerve damage affecting facial movements
• Fractures: Particularly of the collarbone or skull
• Hemorrhaging: Internal bleeding requiring immediate medical attention

Concord residents have access to several medical facilities where births take place:

• John Muir Medical Center - Concord
• Kaiser Permanente Antioch Medical Center
• San Ramon Regional Medical Center
