What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral Palsy refers to a group of conditions that cause physical disability in human development. These disorders involve damage to the brain which then causes problems involving body control and movement. Cerebral Palsy is a non-progressive disease, meaning it does not worsen over time. It has been linked to malpractice and injuries that occur during childbirth, when the baby does not get enough oxygen to the brain.

Do I have a cerebral palsy case?

Simply because a patient suffered injury or because something went wrong during childbirth does not necessarily mean that medical malpractice was to blame. A California medical malpractice attorney can review the circumstances of your case in order to determine whether you have a case, and what is needed to bring this claim against the medical professional whose actions caused this condition.
