Choosing a Cerebral Palsy lawyer

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 20:03:19 +0000

While the internet has many great resources that contain information about cerebral palsy, very often the parents of a newborn child do not know that their child is even suffering from the disease.

Because there no cure and no single cause for cerebral palsy, it can be a very difficult medical condition to diagnose, let alone live with. With an unknown cause to over 75 percent of all cerebral palsy cases, who you choose as your cerebral palsy lawyer is very important.

Your cerebral palsy lawyer should have an intimate knowledge of the disorder. Cerebral palsy is actually an "umbrella term" that covers four main disorder classifications and can affect several different parts of the brain and nervous system, and your cerebral palsy lawyer should know this information without you having to explain it.

Your cerebral palsy lawyer should also have knowledge of the specific laws relating to medical malpractice and cerebral palsy. While this may seem obvious, many people do not realize that not all lawyers are experts in every part of the law. Even if your attorney has been in practice for 20 years, if they have never handled a cerebral palsy case they may not be the best choice for your case.

In Texas, the hard working birth trauma attorneys at Cappolino, Dodd, Krebs LLP have the experience necessary to give you critical professional insight into your child’s condition.

Do Vaccines Cause Autism?

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 15:02:32 +0000

Though not much is known about the causes of autism, angry families in the United States are blaming childhood vaccines.

In 2004, the Institute of Medicine promised there was no credible evidence showing that the preservative thimerosal contained in some vaccines caused autism, but that has not stopped nearly 5,000 lawsuits alleging the contrary.

It is a general contention among all the pending lawsuits that the vaccines containing thimerosal were the cause of autism in the children—they do, however, disagree on exactly how.

Some of the birth trauma attorneys handling these cases say that only the thimerosal in the vaccines caused the neurological disorders. Others argue that the injections also contained a form of mercury that overexcited certain brain cells. To settle this discrepancy, the Office of Special Masters of the claims court has instructed plaintiffs to carry out three tests for each of the theories.

Thimerosal has been removed from standard children’s vaccines, but remains in flu vaccines that are packaged as multiple doses. Unfortunately, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention says single dose flu vaccines are available only in limited numbers for the time being. Until more are produced for and distributed to the children in need of them, the threat of adverse thimerosal side effects remains.

If you are among the families battling autism and believe a loved one has been harmed by a one of these childhood vaccines, it important to contact an experienced birth trauma attorney and defective drugs attorney for professional insight.
