Cerebral palsy is usually noticed at a young age. You may notice a lack of muscle tone, a limpness or stiffness when picking up your infant. You may also see your child missing developmental milestones, struggling with posture or a lack of coordination. Because CP is a disorder that affects the part of the brain that controls motor function, your child may have difficulty doing day to day tasks. This may require physical therapy or even surgery to help them improve their quality of life. While there is no cure for cerebral palsy, many people living with it find ways to adapt. Sometimes adapting includes modifying the family’s house or car to facilitate accessibility.
"If your child was born with a birth injury, or cerebral palsy, we can help."
There are several different causes for this debilitating condition. Sometimes it occurs as a result of genetics, but other times it can be caused by medical negligence. One common cause is a lack of oxygen to the brain that occurs during or shortly after birth. Medical professionals have a duty of care and when they fail to meet that standard, they should be held accountable for their mistakes. That is where our skilled Missouri cerebral palsy attorneys can step in and advocate on your behalf. We want to make sure your voice is heard, if your child has suffered because of a healthcare worker’s negligence. Contact us today for a free case evaluation.
