Cerebral Palsy Claims

Cerebral palsy is a birth injury that often develops during the first few years of a child’s life. It impacts the child’s ability to coordinate body movements. Children suffering from cerebral palsy often have muscles that are either weak and floppy or rigid and stiff.

While there is no cure for this condition, symptoms can be improved by getting the proper therapy.

Causes of Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is generally caused by complications occurring before the baby is born. While it is often difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the condition, some possible causes may include:

  • Mother’s illness during pregnancy
  • Oxygen deprivation during birth
  • Premature birth
  • Illness to infant during first few months of life
  • Improper brain development in womb

Unfortunately, cerebral palsy is often caused by a medical error by a healthcare professional, such as:

  • Improper use of vacuum or forceps extraction
  • Prescribing the wrong medication during pregnancy
  • Failure to treat jaundice in a timely manner
  • Failure to respond to fetal distress in a timely manner
  • Failure to respond to the child’s oxygen deprivation

If your child’s cerebral palsy was the result of negligent medical care, you may be entitled to receive compensation through a medical malpractice lawsuit. Georgia attorney Laurie Robbins can review the details of your child’s injury to help you determine if you have a claim.

Neurological Conditions

Cerebral palsy can result in a variety of neurological conditions ranging from mild to very severe. Often, these issues do not arise until the child’s nervous system matures. Some of the most common conditions affecting children with cerebral palsy include:

  • Hearing loss
  • Paralysis or limited motor skills
  • Speech impairment
  • Skeletal deformities
  • Seizures
