Birth Injuries Can Last a Lifetime
Every expectant parent dreams of a perfectly healthy child, born with boundless possibilities in life. A birth injury can rob parents of that dream and saddle their child with mental and/or physical impairments that can severely limit the child's future options.
What Is a Birth Injury?
A birth injury is an injury that was caused by malpractice during pregnancy, labor or child birth. If you suspect your child suffered a birth injury, it is important to discuss your case with an attorney who is experienced in medical malpractice claims.
At Moffett Law Firm, P.L.L.C., in Tupelo and Amory, Mississippi, we represent families whose children suffered serious harm due to medical negligence. We are dedicated to recovering financial compensation for families whose children suffered birth injuries, including those involving:
- Cerebral palsy
- Erb's palsy and Klempke's palsy
- Shoulder dystocia and other brachial plexus injuries
- Hypoxia — brain injury due to lack of oxygen
- Eclampsia or preeclampsia
- Failure to recognize fetal trauma
- Failure to perform a timely C-section
- Forceps injuries
- Nerve damage
- Paralysis
Our law firm obtained a $3.5 million settlement on behalf of a family whose child was born with brain damage after the doctor forced the mother, a diabetic, to undergo a natural birth instead of a C-section.

We will send your medical records for review by a medical expert who can determine whether malpractice occurred in your case.
