Birth injuries can have lifelong impacts on both children and their families, requiring specialized medical care and ongoing support. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand the complex nature of birth injury cases and have dedicated over 40 years to advocating for families affected by medical malpractice during childbirth.

Birth injuries can occur during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or immediately after birth. These injuries often result from medical negligence or improper care during these critical periods. While some birth injuries may resolve with time and treatment, others can lead to permanent disabilities requiring lifelong care and support.

Medical negligence during childbirth can result in various types of injuries, including:

• Cerebral Palsy: A neurological disorder affecting muscle coordination and movement, often caused by oxygen deprivation during birth.
• Erb's Palsy: Damage to the brachial plexus nerves affecting arm movement and sensation, typically occurring during difficult deliveries.
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation during the birthing process.
• Skull Fractures: Injuries resulting from excessive force or improper use of delivery instruments.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord during delivery, potentially causing partial or complete paralysis.
