About Cerebral Palsy
Medical professionals are entrusted with our lives and well-being in countless situations, but few are more significant than childbirth. A host of doctors, nurses, technicians, radiologists, and anesthesiologists are all often involved in caring for a woman and her child throughout a pregnancy, and are counted on to perform their duties competently and effectively in order to provide for the safety and security of the mother and child.
Sadly, missteps during childbirth, and in procedures and treatments undergone during pregnancy, can sometimes have dire results. In some unfortunate instances, preventable cases of cerebral palsy occur due to the negligence of doctors or nurses, leaving a child and his or her family with a lifetime of physical disability and potential cognitive problems.
Additional Information

Typically associated with trauma or damage to the cerebrum, cerebral palsy most commonly results in impaired motor control in the patient, and often results in the disruption of cognitive development.
