The Effects of Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is a brain injury — caused by a lack of oxygen — that results in a loss of motor control. Depending on the severity of the underlying damage, symptoms may not be visible for months or years after the injury occurs, leading to a delayed diagnosis.
Not all instances of cerebral palsy are the same, but share symptoms such as difficulty with motor skills, muscle stiffness and lack of muscle coordination. Other muscle-related issues such as seizures can also be present.
Pursuing Justice for the Victims of Cerebral Palsy
The most disheartening thing about cerebral palsy is that many cases are entirely avoidable. When a medical professional fails to deliver a baby on time or recognize signs of fetal distress during birth, the resulting lack of oxygen can result in this debilitating condition. This is unacceptable and we aggressively pursue claims against negligent medical professionals such as doctors and nurses.
Our firm works with experts to determine the full extent and impact of your child's injury and then works diligently to obtain the full compensation you need now and for the future.
