Birth Injury Lawyer in Palm Desert, CA

When the joy of welcoming a new child is overshadowed by a preventable birth injury, families need experienced legal support to navigate the challenging path ahead. In Palm Desert, California, Moseley Collins Law stands as a dedicated advocate for families affected by birth injuries, bringing over 40 years of experience in medical malpractice cases and a proven track record of securing justice for our clients.

Birth injuries can have devastating long-term consequences for both children and their families. While Palm Desert is home to several excellent medical facilities, medical negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery can still occur. Understanding your legal rights and options is crucial when facing such challenging circumstances.

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

Cerebral palsy, which affects muscle coordination and movement, often results from oxygen deprivation during birth. Erb's palsy and brachial plexus injuries can occur due to improper handling during delivery, potentially causing permanent nerve damage and limited arm mobility.

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), caused by reduced oxygen flow to the brain, can lead to significant developmental delays and cognitive impairments. According to research published in the Journal of Perinatal Medicine, proper intervention within the first six hours can significantly improve outcomes.

Birth injuries may also include skull fractures, spinal cord injuries, and facial paralysis. These conditions often require extensive medical treatment and ongoing care.

The following hospitals serve the Palm Desert community:

• Eisenhower Health Medical Center
• Desert Regional Medical Center
• JFK Memorial Hospital
