How Cerebral Palsy Can Be Caused By Medical Negligence
While genetics may cause some infants to be born with cerebral palsy, there are other possible causes. Infection during pregnancy or birth complications can cause CP. Inadequate medical care that caused birth asphyxia could lead to brain damage. Your child’s doctor has a duty of care to provide adequate medical care, and failure to do so could result in harm.
"If your child was born with a birth injury, or cerebral palsy, we can help."
Damages You Can Claim in a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit
Cerebral palsy is not without financial burden. Treatments and special accommodations can be expensive. If your child was a victim of medical malpractice, you might be eligible to receive compensation that includes:
- The cost of your medical bills
- The cost of vehicle and home modifications
- Your therapy expenses
- Medical travel expenses
- Salary you missed while caring for your child
