The Duffy & Duffy lawyers who focus on cerebral palsy malpractice know that new parents have many questions about the health of their children, especially if they suspect something is wrong. Cerebral palsy is caused by brain damage, usually occurring before or during delivery. It may have been caused by cerebral palsy malpractice.
There are a range of cerebral palsy symptoms. Most are not apparent immediately at birth and during early infancy. They become more apparent as your child’s nervous system develops. Symptoms may be subtle and only noticeable to medical professionals or they may be severe, and obvious to parents and caretakers, such as:
You may be trying to understand what causes Cerebral palsy. How can medical malpractice cause cerebral palsy? Cerebral palsy is caused by a brain injury. Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional fails to follow standard medical procedures. If your child tragically suffers from cerebral palsy as a result of a medical professional’s failure to follow such procedures, you have a cause of action for medical malpractice. This means that you and your child can receive financial compensation for damages and the expenses you will incur in the future because of their medical mistake.
If your medical professional failed to properly treat you during your pregnancy and delivery or failed to properly treat your baby, cerebral palsy may result. Anything that causes damage to your baby’s brain such as infection, lack of oxygen, and genetic malformation may result in cerebral palsy.
If you had a cesarean delivery after many hours of attempting vaginal delivery, your baby’s umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck, your baby didn’t immediately cry upon birth, your baby had to be cared for in the NICU, your baby scored low on the Apgar test, or a medical professional indicated in any way that something should have been done differently, medical malpractice may have occurred.
