Birth Injury Lawyer in Paramount, CA

When a joyful moment turns into a medical crisis, having experienced legal representation becomes crucial. Birth injuries can have life-altering consequences, affecting not only the newborn but the entire family. In Paramount, California, Moseley Collins Law stands ready to help families navigate the complex legal landscape of birth injury cases, offering over 40 years of experience and a commitment to securing justice for affected families.

Birth injuries differ from birth defects, occurring due to complications during labor, delivery, or immediate postpartum care. These injuries can range from mild to severe, potentially requiring lifetime medical care and support. Understanding the nature of these injuries and their legal implications is crucial for families seeking justice.

Medical complications during childbirth can result in various injuries, including:

• 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 affecting arm movement and sensation, typically resulting from shoulder dystocia during delivery.
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation, potentially leading to developmental delays and cognitive impairments.
• Skull Fractures: Physical trauma during delivery that may cause serious neurological complications.

Families in Paramount have access to several medical facilities. While these hospitals strive to provide quality care, complications can still occur:

• St. Francis Medical Center
• PIH Health Hospital - Downey
• Memorial Hospital of Gardena
• Lakewood Regional Medical Center
