PERSONAL INJURY: CEREBRAL PALSY  According to the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation, nearly 800,000 children and adults in the United States are living with symptoms of Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral Palsy refers to a group of neurological disorders that permanently affect body movement, posture and muscle coordination. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that each year, as many as 10,000 babies born in the United States will develop Cerebral Palsy.
While Cerebral Palsy is sometimes caused by an unavoidable prenatal condition or a childhood accident, all too often it is the result of medical negligence. Medical mistakes during pregnancy or during or after delivery can lead to this permanent and debilitating condition. Infants and children with Cerebral Palsy may face a lifetime of care and undergo treatments including physical, speech and drug therapies and surgeries to correct abnormalities. These children may also require braces or other orthotic devices, a wheelchair or walker and even communication aids such as a voice synthesizer.
If your infant or child suffers from Cerebral Palsy, it is crucial to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Our skilled trial lawyers can help you secure all of the compensation to which you may be entitled. This may include compensation for pain and suffering, financial loss, emotional distress and past, current and future medical expenses. In some cases, you may also be entitled to punitive damages for another party’s wrongdoing. Our dedicated attorneys can also help you deal with your insurance company, as well as the insurer of the other party or parties. The insurance companies have lawyers working hard to minimize their payouts; you need a lawyer who will work just as hard for you.
