Birth injuries can occur during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or immediately after birth. As experienced birth injury lawyers serving Petaluma, we help families determine whether medical malpractice contributed to their child's injury and guide them through the legal process.

Birth injuries can range from mild conditions that resolve on their own to severe trauma causing lifelong disabilities. Some frequently encountered birth injuries include:

• Cerebral Palsy: A neurological disorder affecting movement and muscle coordination, often caused by oxygen deprivation during birth.
• Erb's Palsy: Damage to the brachial plexus nerves controlling arm and shoulder movement, typically resulting from excessive force during delivery.
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation, which can lead to developmental delays and other serious complications.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Trauma to the spinal cord during delivery, potentially causing partial or complete paralysis.
• Skull Fractures: Injuries to the infant's skull from improper use of delivery tools or excessive force.
