Our Bay City cerebral palsy lawyers at The Buckfire Law Firm help children who have cerebral palsy caused by a medical mistake or error. We have tremendous success in filing medical malpractice lawsuits against negligent doctors, nurses, and hospitals. Many of these cases result in life-changing settlements for both the child and family.
Our cerebral palsy attorneys will investigate if your child’s condition was due to medical negligence.
