Birth Injury Lawyer in Pasadena, CA

When medical negligence during childbirth leads to injury, families in Pasadena need experienced legal representation to pursue justice and secure compensation for their child's care. Birth injuries can have lifelong consequences, affecting not only the child's health but also creating significant emotional and financial challenges for the entire family.

Birth injuries occur when complications during labor and delivery result in physical harm to the infant. While some birth complications are unavoidable, others stem from medical negligence or improper care. At Moseley Collins Law, we have over 40 years of experience helping families navigate these complex cases.

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

• Cerebral palsy represents one of the most severe outcomes, occurring when oxygen deprivation during delivery damages the brain's motor control centers.
• Another significant birth injury is Erb's palsy, which develops when excessive force or improper delivery techniques damage the brachial plexus nerves.
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) presents a particularly serious condition where insufficient oxygen reaches the infant's brain during birth.
• During difficult deliveries, bone fractures can occur, particularly affecting the skull and clavicle (collarbone).
• Perhaps most concerning are spinal cord injuries, which can result from excessive force or improper handling during delivery.

Each of these conditions requires immediate medical intervention and may result in substantial ongoing medical expenses, making it crucial for affected families to understand their legal rights and options for pursuing compensation.
