With over 40 years of experience representing birth injury cases, our dedicated legal team helps families navigate the complex medical and legal aspects of birth injury claims.

Birth injuries can occur during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or immediately after birth. These injuries often result from medical negligence or improper care during these critical periods. While some birth injuries may resolve with time and treatment, others can lead to lifelong complications requiring extensive medical care and support.

Medical complications during birth can result in various types of injuries, including:

• Cerebral Palsy
• Erb's Palsy and shoulder dystocia
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Fractures and bone injuries
• Brain damage from oxygen deprivation
• Facial paralysis
• Intracranial hemorrhage

West Sacramento residents have access to several medical facilities where births take place:

• Mercy General Hospital
• UC Davis Medical Center
• Sutter Medical Center Sacramento
• Methodist Hospital of Sacramento

According to recent medical studies, approximately 7 out of every 1,000 births in the United States involve some form of birth injury. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that birth injuries contribute significantly to infant mortality and long-term disability rates.
