There are cases of Cerebral Palsy diagnosed each year that could have been prevented where there was medical negligence that worsens the effects of a naturally occurring condition by acting in a manner not consistent with established medical practices.

Our Cerebral Palsy attorneys will help you determine whether you may be entitled to financial compensation if you believe your child was a victim of this serious birth injury due to medical negligence. Cerebral Palsy is a condition that affects the brain and nerves that control the body's muscles. If the areas of the brain that control motor functions are damaged, the brain's ability to manage physical activities like movement and speech are reduced. Cerebral Palsy symptoms often appear at birth but may also not be recognized until well into a baby's first year. The degree of Cerebral Palsy varies from child to child and can include fine motor task difficulties, speech impairment, loss of balance, uncontrollable hand movements, drooling, mental impairment or seizures. In the most severe cases, there can be mental retardation and total lack of muscle control (making movement and speech extremely difficult).

Cerebral Palsy Treatments Are Intensive and Costly and
Our Attorneys Can Help You Obtain Compensation

There is no cure for Cerebral Palsy, and while brain abnormalities usually do not worsen, they also do not improve. There are treatments that can control effects on motor skills, speech and muscle development. Early intervention and ongoing therapy is key to controlling and minimizing the effects of cerebral palsy. Some children may have a mild case of cerebral palsy, while others may have severe disabilities that will require intensive, life-long care.
