While cerebral palsy can occur for a variety of reasons, all too frequently it is caused by inadequate medical care or medical negligence. Medical mistakes that cause CP can happen prior to, during or even shortly after birth. Causes include maternal infections that were not properly diagnosed or treated or a misjudgment during labor that caused a lack of oxygen supply to the brain. Medical professionals have a duty of care and when that duty is breached they should be held accountable.
"If your child was born with a birth injury, or cerebral palsy, we can help."
The symptoms of this neurological disorder can vary greatly from person to person. While one child might only exhibit a mild lack of coordination on one or two limbs, another might have a rather severe lack of mobility. Your child might need physical therapy, surgeries and even accommodations to your home and car to improve their quality of life. This can put a financial hardship on a family, but our legal team may be able to help you recover damages if this birth injury was caused by negligence.
