Cerebral palsy is caused by brain damage at some point in the birthing process – before, during or just after birth. Many factors may contribute to a child developing this condition. However, medical malpractice and doctor negligence are often to blame.

What Should The Doctors Have Done?
It is intolerable for cerebral palsy to be caused by a hospital error or physician mistake. Our firm strives to hold medical professionals responsible for the negligent actions that caused the palsy. Some of the cases we have handled have been shown to be the result of a doctor’s failure to:
- Test for complicating factors that may affect labor and delivery
- Provide timely treatment for identified problems that may prevent the normal development of the infant
- Thoroughly monitor the infant’s vital signs and the mother’s condition throughout pregnancy and delivery
- Take the necessary steps and precautions to ensure a safe delivery
- Maintain proper follow-up care for the infant after birth
It is important to know that cerebral palsy is not 100 percent preventable. However, the chances that your child becomes injured and develops this condition can be greatly reduced. The reduction in risk can occur by having a doctor who thoroughly and effectively monitors the child and the mother throughout the pregnancy and labor and delivery.
