Holding Doctors Accountable for Cerebral Palsy Birth Injury Occurrences
Cerebral palsy medical malpractice cases often occur during delivery as a result of any of the following:
- Oxygen deprivation
- Brain damage from forceps
- Birth canal complications
A cerebral palsy birth injury permanently affects body movement and muscle coordination but does not worsen over time. Most often, the condition results in a lack of coordination, and there are related brain injuries that involve mental disability. While there is currently no cure, there are treatments available, including physical therapy, speech therapy, as well as drug treatment, to help children develop and lead a productive life.
Our Charlotte cerebral palsy injury attorneys have over 25 years of medical malpractice experience. We are familiar with how costly it is to raise a child who has a cerebral palsy birth injury. Although we know that monetary compensation cannot undo the wrong, it can help provide support for families struggling with medical expenses and future cost of living concerns. It can also afford peace of mind that your child's needs will be met. This includes all the necessary lifelong treatments the child may need as well as how this injury will limit his or her ability to work. We will document this proof through medical reports and experts when needed to prove your need for fair and just compensation.
