When a joyous occasion turns tragic due to medical negligence during childbirth, families in Mono County need experienced legal representation. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand the devastating impact birth injuries can have on your child's future and your family's wellbeing. With over 40 years of experience handling birth injury cases, our dedicated legal team helps families seek justice and compensation for preventable birth injuries.

Birth injuries can occur during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or immediately after birth. These injuries may result from medical negligence, improper use of delivery instruments, delayed cesarean sections, or failure to monitor fetal distress. While some birth injuries resolve with time and treatment, others can lead to lifelong disabilities requiring extensive medical care and support.

Common birth injuries include:

• Cerebral Palsy
• Erb's Palsy and Brachial Plexus Injuries
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
• Shoulder Dystocia
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Facial Paralysis
• Fractures
• Brain Damage due to Oxygen Deprivation

Mono County residents have access to several healthcare facilities where births take place:
