Birth injuries can have devastating long-term consequences for both children and their families. These injuries, often preventable with proper medical care, can occur during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand the complex medical and legal aspects of birth injury cases in Norwalk and surrounding communities.

Medical complications during childbirth can lead to various injuries that may affect a child's development and quality of life. Some frequently encountered birth injuries include:

• Cerebral Palsy: A neurological disorder affecting muscle coordination and body movement, often caused by oxygen deprivation during birth.
• Erb's Palsy: Damage to the brachial plexus nerves resulting in limited arm and shoulder movement.
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage caused by insufficient oxygen supply during delivery.
• Shoulder Dystocia: A birth complication where the baby's shoulders become stuck during delivery.
• Skull Fractures: Injuries that can occur due to improper use of delivery assistance tools.

Several healthcare facilities serve the Norwalk community. While these institutions generally provide quality care, birth injuries can occur at any facility:

• Coast Plaza Hospital 13100 Studebaker Road, Norwalk, CA 90650

• Communication: Open dialogue with healthcare providers about concerns and family history.

Families affected by birth injuries can access various support services:
