Philadelphia Hospitals
Cerebral palsy can have a devastating effect on the development of any child, and the unexpected costs and limitations brought on by raising a child with physical and cognitive impairments means years of ongoing care and challenges. While there are a host of issues which can result in cerebral palsy, the negligence of medical professionals during pregnancy and childbirth is one of the leading causes of the disorder.
The hospital setting is by far the most common location where negligence can take place, partially due to the fast-paced and hectic schedule of a major medical center, but in some instances, due to under-staffing issues and poor procedural oversight. Hospital errors regularly play a major role in medical malpractice, and such negligence can directly contribute to the reckless action or inaction that results in a preventable case of cerebral palsy.
