Non-medical Causes of Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy can result from a variety of factors, some of which may simply be the result of natural causes. However, in many cases, cerebral palsy is caused by the reckless or negligent actions of others. The majority of these incidents involve medical malpractice, or mistakes on the part of a medical professional. In some situations, though, non-medical causes of cerebral palsy may still involve irresponsible behavior on the part of others.
No matter how a child’s cerebral palsy developed, if it was caused by someone else, that individual needs to be held responsible for the consequences of their actions.
