Determining whether a child’s cerebral palsy is the result of medical negligence is crucial in determining eligibility for compensation permitted by the law. Unfortunately, a number of families avoid medical malpractice litigation for different reasons. The best — and only — way to find out if you have a cerebral palsy case is to reach out to an attorney for a legal consultation. An experienced birth injury attorney will do a thorough investigation of the medical records and review the case with expert medical professionals to determine whether negligent care was the cause of a child’s cerebral palsy.
