Birth injuries can have life-altering consequences for both children and their families. These injuries, which occur during labor, delivery, or immediately after birth, often result from medical negligence or improper care. In Orange County, where thousands of births occur annually, even a small percentage of birth injuries can affect numerous families.

Medical negligence during childbirth can lead to various serious conditions:

• Shoulder Dystocia
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Facial Paralysis
• Skull Fractures

Pursuing a birth injury lawsuit requires specialized knowledge of both medical and legal principles. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand the complexities of these cases and work diligently to prove negligence and secure appropriate compensation for our clients.

A birth injury lawsuit typically involves:

1. Thorough investigation of medical records
2. Consultation with experts
3. Documentation of current and future care needs
4. Assessment of long-term financial impact
5. Building a compelling case for negligence
