What is a Cerebral Palsy Claim?

A cerebral palsy claim is a legal case filed when a child develops cerebral palsy due to negligent medical care before, during, or after birth. This could involve failure to monitor the baby’s health, mishandling complications, or delayed medical intervention—all of which can lead to brain damage and lifelong disabilities.

If medical professionals failed to provide the standard level of care, resulting in your child’s condition, you may be entitled to seek compensation for medical expenses, specialist therapies, and future care needs.

Common Causes of Cerebral Palsy Due to Medical Negligence

Medical mistakes that lead to cerebral palsy often involve preventable errors, including:

Oxygen Deprivation (Birth Asphyxia)

A lack of oxygen to the baby’s brain during labor or delivery can cause permanent brain damage, increasing the risk of cerebral palsy.

Undiagnosed or Untreated Infections During Pregnancy

Certain maternal infections, like rubella, toxoplasmosis, or bacterial infections, can harm fetal brain development if not diagnosed and treated promptly.

Birth Trauma Due to Improper Delivery Techniques

Forceful or incorrect use of delivery tools, such as forceps or vacuum extractors, can lead to brain injuries and nerve damage.

Failure to Recognize and Manage Birth Complications

Delays in responding to fetal distress, umbilical cord problems, or issues like shoulder dystocia can lead to brain injury and, ultimately, cerebral palsy.
