Cerebral Palsy Can Be a Birth Injury
Cerebral palsy is a brain injury that impacts both physical and cognitive development. From an inability to control their muscles to mental retardation, infants suffering from this devastating condition face serious challenges. Several acts of medical negligence can lead to cerebral palsy, including:
- Failure to diagnose and treat maternal infections
- Failure to identify or treat fetal distress
- Failure to perform a timely C-section
- Lack of oxygen to the baby's brain
- Improper use of forceps during delivery
- Medication errors or drug side effects
- Failure to realize newborn's air supply is cut off by umbilical cord
- Failure to diagnose and treat seizures, meningitis or jaundice
At our firm, we educate clients about the causes of cerebral palsy and help clients determine what actually happened to their children. Above all, our cerebral palsy lawyers are dedicated to holding negligent physicians, nurses and other medical professionals accountable for their actions.
