Birth Injury Lawyer in Santa Clara County, CA

When the joy of welcoming a new life turns into a medical crisis, families in Santa Clara County need experienced legal support. Birth injuries can have devastating long-term consequences, affecting not only the child's health but also creating significant emotional and financial burdens for the entire family. At Moseley Collins Law, we understand the complexities of birth injury cases and have dedicated over 40 years to advocating for families affected by medical negligence during childbirth.

Birth trauma can arise at any point during the prenatal period, labor and delivery process, or in the immediate postnatal period. Medical professionals have a duty of care to prevent birth injuries through proper monitoring, appropriate use of medical instruments, timely cesarean section decisions, and vigilant observation of fetal vital signs. While Santa Clara County provides access to numerous well-regarded medical facilities, no healthcare institution is immune to instances of medical negligence that may result in birth injuries.

Birth injuries can range from mild to severe, with some having lifelong implications:

• Cerebral Palsy
• Erb's Palsy and Brachial Plexus Injuries
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
• Shoulder Dystocia
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Facial Paralysis
• Fractures
• Brain Damage due to Oxygen Deprivation
