Starting a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit

Cerebral palsy lawsuits are personal injury cases that seek compensation and lifetime benefits for individuals diagnosed with cerebral palsy following medical malpractice.

Cerebral palsy is an incurable neurological condition that causes mild to severe impairments in movement, thought, speech and/or coordination. Although cerebral palsy can be caused by a variety of factors, including heredity, in some cases, the mistakes doctors and nurses make before, during or after birth can result in brain damage and cerebral palsy.

If medical mistakes result in cerebral palsy, it is likely that the parents and affected infants will be eligible to recover compensation and lifetime benefits by pursuing a cerebral palsy lawsuit. Because of the complex nature of cerebral palsy lawsuits, it is essential to consult an affiliated birth injury lawyer with extensive experience handling cases involving cerebral palsy.

At Litigators Incorporated, P.C., our affiliated birth injury attorneys have a proven track record of success in helping families affected by cerebral palsy recover the lifetime benefits they need to ensure their children receive the best treatments and care possible.

What to Expect During an Initial Consultation

During an initial meeting, our affiliated cerebral palsy lawyers and/or affiliated nurses and doctors will:

  • Evaluate parents' claims
  • Review the medical records to determine the cause of injury 
  • Decide whether the infant and family qualify to file a cerebral palsy lawsuit
  • Inform prospective plaintiffs about the process of compiling and winning cerebral palsy lawsuits
