Birth Injury Lawyer in Whittier, CA

When the joy of welcoming a new family member turns into distress due to medical negligence, families in Whittier, California need dedicated legal support. Birth injuries can have life-altering consequences, affecting not only the child's future but also placing significant emotional and financial burdens on families. 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 malpractice during childbirth.

Birth injuries differ from birth defects as they occur during the labor and delivery process, often due to medical negligence or improper care. These injuries can range from minor, temporary conditions to severe, permanent disabilities that require lifelong care and support.

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

• Cerebral Palsy: A neurological disorder affecting muscle coordination and movement, often caused by oxygen deprivation during delivery.
• Erb's Palsy: Damage to the brachial plexus nerves affecting arm movement and sensation, typically resulting from shoulder dystocia during delivery.
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage caused by insufficient oxygen supply during birth, potentially leading to developmental delays and cognitive impairments.

Families in Whittier have access to several healthcare facilities where deliveries take place:

• PIH Health Whittier Hospital 12401 Washington Blvd Whittier, CA 90602
• Beverly Hospital 309 W Beverly Blvd Montebello, CA 90640
