Medical Malpractice and Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is a medical condition that can affect an individual’s motor skills and cognitive abilities, in some cases significantly impacting a person’s quality of life. Though there are many different reasons why cerebral palsy may occur, including natural causes, one of the most common factors leading to the development of this condition is the recklessness or negligence of medical professionals during childbirth.

No parent should have to pay for the consequences of a medical professional’s errors on their own. If you or someone you know has a child with cerebral palsy whose condition was caused by a doctor or other medical professional’s mistakes, you may be entitled to compensation to help pay for the damages.
