What Is Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral palsy is a condition caused by damage to the brain that affects brain-to- muscle communication. It can affect movement, posture, muscle control, balance, and other functioning. It can cause respiratory distress. It can also affect cognitive functioning.
One cause of cerebral palsy is oxygen deprivation at birth. This can be caused by medical malpractice during the labor and delivery process by twisting of the umbilical cord, compression, forceps injuries, delaying a C-section, or other actions that restrict oxygen to the brain.
Raising a child with cerebral palsy can be challenging. However, with medical intervention and intensive therapy, it is possible for some children to overcome some of the challenges associated with the condition. Not all individuals with cerebral palsy, however, are successfully treated.
The medical malpractice lawyers of Clark Perdue have years of experience representing families dealing with a birth injury, including cerebral palsy. We understand the difficulties associated with caring for an injured child and the trauma of realizing that a doctor made a mistake. We are experienced at holding medical professionals accountable for their negligence, and seek compensation to cover a potential lifetime of expenses.
