At Moseley Collins Law, we understand the emotional and financial challenges families face when dealing with birth injuries.

Understanding the various types of birth injuries is crucial for families seeking legal representation:

Cerebral palsy often results from oxygen deprivation during birth, affecting a child's muscle control and coordination. This condition requires ongoing medical care and therapy throughout life.

This condition affects the brachial plexus nerves, potentially causing permanent arm weakness or paralysis. Early intervention and proper treatment are essential for optimal recovery.

HIE occurs when the brain doesn't receive adequate oxygen during birth, potentially leading to severe developmental delays and cognitive impairments.

Additional birth injuries may include:

• Skull fractures
• Spinal cord injuries
• Facial paralysis
• Shoulder dystocia
• Birth asphyxia

Contra Costa County offers several medical facilities where births take place:

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

According to recent studies by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 7 out of every 1,000 births in the United States involve some form of birth injury. The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) reports that many of these injuries are preventable with proper medical care and monitoring.
