Cerebral Palsy And Other Brain Damage From Childbirth Errors

Having a child with cerebral palsy can be a tragic and a serious concern for most parents. In addition to the profound and lifelong personal challenges the child will face, there are serious financial considerations associated with lifelong care. If the cerebral palsy was caused by medical negligence, you and your child deserve to be compensated for the damages caused by these errors.

Did Medical Malpractice Cause Your Child’s Disabilities?

The most common cause of cerebral palsy is a lack of oxygen during birth and the days following. While in some cases this is not the fault of the medical professionals, often the oxygen loss is preventable.  Fetal monitoring provides a labor and delivery team with ample information about the health of mother and baby.  When the monitoring suggests a deterioration in the baby’s condition, perhaps indicating a lack of oxygen, the labor and delivery team must respond.  The failure to respond timely can lead to a devastating outcome.

It takes a keen eye with legal experience and medical training to find the exact cause of cerebral palsy in birth injury claims. There are times when it appears the delivering doctors and nurses have done excellent work, but upon careful examination of the medical evidence, it is often possible to uncover the truth in birth injury cerebral palsy claims.
