Los Angeles Cerebral Palsy Lawyer

Experienced Medical Malpractice Attorney Handling Cerebral Palsy Cases

Cerebral palsy is a type of brain injury that occurs when there is an insufficient flow of oxygen to a baby’s brain during labor or delivery.  Cerebral palsy is one of the most serious types of birth injuries, as children who develop cerebral palsy often suffer from health complications for the rest of their lives.  Because cerebral palsy permanently affects motor control, function and movement, children with cerebral palsy typically require ongoing physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.  Although there is no cure for cerebral palsy, providing your child with the medical treatment and therapies he or she needs can significantly improve the quality of their lives.

Many cases of cerebral palsy are caused by some type of negligence or malpractice during the labor and delivery process.  Maybe a nurse misread the fetal monitoring strip.  Perhaps a doctor failed to deliver a distressed baby in a timely enough manner.  Or maybe a doctor didn’t order a cesarean section when it was needed. There are many circumstances in the delivery room that could ultimately lead to a birth injury that causes cerebral palsy.  If you can establish that a doctor or nurse’s negligence or malpractice was to blame, you may be able to recover compensation for your child’s medical expenses, future medical care, ongoing therapies, adaptive equipment, and decreased quality of life.
