Cerebral Palsy

New parents trust in their team of doctors and nurses to safely bring their child into the world without any issue. When families are presented with a child’s cerebral palsy diagnosis, they may need to consider how it happened. While cerebral palsy may be caused by genetic or unpreventable complications, in some cases, the negligence of medical professionals may cause this condition. When a child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy, the family may face a lifetime of effects that could have been avoided, including a significant need for care and high medical bills. If you believe that your child’s cerebral palsy condition came as a result of medical malpractice, you may have a valid malpractice claim. Talking with an attorney is the first step. Contact the experienced cerebral palsy attorneys at Friedman Schuman for a consultation today.

What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral Palsy is a condition that is oftentimes caused by a lack of oxygen to the child’s brain during birth. This can have a serious impact on the child’s ability to properly develop movement, balance, posture, and cognitive functions. The signs of Cerebral Palsy are usually not immediate. The child may suffer from poor coordination, stiff and weak muscles, and tremors over time. These signs may become present if the child has trouble rolling over, crawling, sitting, walking, hearing, swallowing, seeing, and speaking well after the birth itself.

Lifelong consequences of Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy can affect a child for the entirety of his or her life. A diagnosis frequently has a serious impact on the family, financially and emotionally. For many, Cerebral Palsy brings on a lifetime of change few are prepared to endure. An effective attorney can help a parent determine whether there is a liable party and assist them in instituting a lawsuit to recover financial compensation
