Cerebral Palsy Lawyer 

Our affiliated, experienced cerebral palsy lawyers have a proven track record of securing settlements and lifetime benefits for infants born with cerebral palsy following medical malpractice.

Not all cerebral palsy patients will be entitled to a settlement for their injuries. However, when healthcare professionals have made mistakes that have contributed the development of cerebral palsy, injured parties can recover compensation by following through with a birth injury lawsuit.

Anyone who suspects their loved one's cerebral palsy is the result of medical mistakes can find out if they have a case by setting up a free initial consultation with one of our affiliated cerebral palsy attorneys. They have the experience and the knowledge to help you.

Medical Mistakes & Cerebral Palsy: When to Seek Legal Advice

Doctors and nurses are more likely to make mistakes when labor and/or delivery complications, such as the following arise:

• Breech birth (babies are delivered feet first, rather than head first)
• Low birth weight (less than 3.3 pounds)
• Multiple births
• Premature birth (birth before 32 weeks of pregnancy)

However, regardless of these conditions, medical mistakes can still occur and contribute to the presence or severity of an infant's cerebral palsy. Some of these mistakes involve failing to diagnose and adequately treat:

• an infant's lack of oxygen
• changes in fetal heart rate
• exposure to toxins (such as lead or mercury)
• newborn meningitis and/or jaundice
• maternal infections (including syphilis, measles or chicken pox)
• maternal signs of distress (such as high blood pressure, blood poisoning or elevated heart rates)
• prolapsed cord (a condition in which the umbilical cord wraps around a baby's neck and cuts off his air supply)
• seizures (in either the pregnant mother or the newborn)

Additionally, malpractice can lead to birth injury and cerebral palsy following:

• failure to perform necessary C-sections
• improper use of vacuum extraction and forceps

The longer it takes doctors to correct any of these medical mistakes, the more serious an infant's case of cerebral palsy will be. In the most severe cases, cerebral palsy patients will need round-the-clock care to help them breathe, eat and move.

Starting a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit

Should any of the above-listed events occur, infants will likely suffer brain damage and, eventually, be diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

If your child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy and it was caused by mistakes made by a healthcare provider (e.g. doctor, nurse, etc.) during his/her birth, you will likely qualify to recover compensation that can help give your child the highest care and quality of life.
