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
