If your child’s birth injury was caused by a medical error of a physician, nurse or hospital your child does have a cerebral palsy lawsuit and you may be able to pursue a claim against the negligent medical provider or facility. Often times, not only does the child have a lawsuit but the parent may also be able to pursue an individual claim.

Cerebral palsy is typically caused by brain damage before or during a child’s birth. The brain damage associated with the disorder can occur when the physician or a member of the birth delivery team delays the delivery or fails to monitor the baby for signs of fetal distress. If this occurs, medical malpractice has taken place and parents and children do have the legal right to file a claim.

Cerebral palsy lawsuits provide parents the financial means and support necessary to not only raise their child, but to also provide the security and peace of mind for the child’s entire lifetime.
