Cerebral palsy is a group of conditions resulting from severe damage to the motor and sensory areas of the brain. This life-long condition affects the control of movement and posture in a child and may cause a number of other physical, cognitive, and emotional effects.
There are four major types of cerebral palsy, which are classified based on type of motor impairment and what part of the body this impairment affects.
In the majority of cases, cerebral palsy is the devastating result of complications during pregnancy and childbirth. While some causes of cerebral palsy are not foreseeable, many are preventable with appropriate medical care.
While there is no known cure for cerebral palsy, there are various treatment and care options, which can significantly improve your child's quality of life.
If you suspect medical malpractice was the cause of your child's cerebral palsy, you may be eligible to pursue a lawsuit to seek compensation for the damages you and your child have suffered.
