When the joy of welcoming a new life is overshadowed by medical negligence, families in Long Beach need experienced legal support. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand the devastating impact of birth injuries on families across California. With over 40 years of experience representing families affected by birth injuries, our dedicated legal team helps parents navigate the complex process of seeking justice and compensation for their children.

Birth complications that result in injury can arise at any point from early pregnancy through the immediate postpartum period. Healthcare providers have established protocols and standards of care to identify and respond to potential complications. However, when medical professionals deviate from these standards through negligence, improper technique, delayed interventions, or inadequate monitoring, serious injuries can occur.

For families affected by such medical errors, understanding their legal rights and options becomes essential for ensuring their child receives appropriate long-term medical care and support. A qualified birth injury attorney can help families determine whether medical negligence contributed to their child's injury and guide them through the process of securing compensation for ongoing care needs and other damages.

Medical complications during birth can lead to various injuries, including:

• Cerebral Palsy
• Erb's Palsy and Brachial Plexus Injuries
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
• Shoulder Dystocia
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Facial Paralysis
• Bone Fractures
