When Medical Negligence Leads to Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen. This lack of oxygen can occur prior to birth, during delivery, or after birth, and can have lifetime effects on your child and your entire family. Had a doctor provided the quality care you and your child deserved, cerebral palsy may not have resulted. Negligence may involve the failure to:
- Recognize fetal distress
- Respond to a problem
- Notice changes on the fetal monitor
- Notify doctors of distress
- Perform a timely C-Section
Life with Cerebral Palsy
With cerebral palsy, your child may have hearing or vision problems, difficulty controlling arms, legs, or hands, he or she may be confined to a wheelchair, and may have other daily challenges. Your entire family must endure the physical demands and financial burdens that result from ongoing therapy, medical treatment, daily assistance, and other lifetime care.
