When the joy of welcoming a new child is overshadowed by medical negligence, families in Plumas County need experienced legal support.

Birth injuries differ from natural birth defects and occur due to complications during labor, delivery, or immediate post-natal care. These injuries can range from minor, temporary conditions to severe, permanent disabilities. Understanding your legal rights and options is crucial when facing such challenging circumstances.

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

Cerebral palsy often develops due to oxygen deprivation during birth, affecting muscle control and coordination.

This condition affects the brachial plexus nerves, potentially causing partial or complete paralysis of the arm.

HIE occurs when the brain doesn't receive enough oxygen during birth, potentially leading to severe developmental delays and cognitive impairments.
