Cerebral Palsy, a serious and permanent condition caused by trauma at birth, has symptoms that can range from simple lack of fine muscle coordination to an inability to maintain balance or walk. Cerebral palsy often is accompanied by other medical complications, such as seizures and developmental delays. While there is no cure for this terrible disorder, many treatment options are available.

Further, children who receive the resources they need often go on to live productive lives.

Several different things can cause cerebral palsy. It may be a result from a combination of events occurring at all three stages of the birth process. Unfortunately, one of the most common and easily preventable causes of the disorder is birth trauma caused by a medial professional.

Cerebral palsy has been linked to the negligent doctor causing serious injury in the newborn child.

When cases involving birth trauma go to court, the outcome is usually favorable.  While there are continual advancements in treatment for this disorder, negligent doctors must still be held accountable for their actions. If your child had birth trauma and has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy or other disorder, please contact an experienced birth trauma attorney.
