Taking Legal Action After A Cerebral Palsy Diagnosis
Cerebral palsy is a difficult condition that can be caused by failures on the part of physicians and medical staff. There are a number of ways that Medical Malpractice during a child’s delivery can cause cerebral palsy, including:
- Failing to perform a necessary emergency cesarean section (C-section)
- Failure to monitor the fetal monitor strip
- Failure to notice and act when the umbilical cord is wrapped around the child’s neck
- Misuse of medical equipment such as forceps
- Failure to recognize the child is being delivered in a breech position
- Failure to monitor for and treat maternal infections
Symptoms of cerebral palsy include:
- Delays in motor skill development
- Delays in speech development
- Difficulty eating or swallowing
- Muscle stiffness
- Exaggerated reactions
- Lack of muscle coordination
- Difficulty walking
- Tremors
Helping Ensure Your Child’s Needs Are Met
A child who has cerebral palsy faces a lifetime of difficult issues that require medical care. The cost of that care can be a huge obstacle to making sure your child’s needs are met. If your child’s cerebral palsy was caused by substandard care from a doctor or medical staff, we can help you pursue all appropriate compensation. That compensation can provide for your child’s needs now and years from now.
We work to include long-term care costs and the costs of other future issues into the compensation we can seek for your child.
