  • Birth Injury and Cerebral Palsy
    Medical Malpractice Lawyers

    Parents around the world will all tell anyone who will listen that the best day of their lives was when their child was born. This is only natural, and months of anticipation leads to a day no one involved will ever forget. It's been that way since the beginning of time, but for those whose children encounter difficulty during birth, such a day is as terrifying as any they'll ever encounter.

    That's why those whose children suffer birth injuries and contract cerebral palsy as a result face such a difficult situation on so many levels - not only is it excruciating to see the mother and child struggle through the process, but no human is more vulnerable to harm than when he or she is a newborn, and cerebral palsy is a lifelong price to pay for a mistake made during the birthing process.

    Below is a brief overview of this issue, but if your child has suffered a birth injury that lead to cerebral palsy, contact the medical malpractice lawyers at Parilman & Associates as soon as possible to schedule a free initial consultation.

    How Birth Injuries and Cerebral Palsy Occur

    The medical field is far from infallible in any context, and that certainly includes the birth of a child. Mistakes can occur in many ways, and any number of them made when a child is being born can lead to the development of cerebral palsy. While the list of potential mistakes that could be made during the birthing process would be too long to list here, below you'll find some of the birth injuries that could lead to cerebral palsy:
    • Lack of oxygen
    • Head trauma
    • Bleeding
    Any of these could lead to the development of cerebral palsy at some point. Perhaps the most daunting aspect of this issue is that it could be some time before the parents discover that there is even a problem. Usually, this only occurs when the child falls well behind what is considered the 'normal' developmental patterns of children of a like age and size.

    Additionally, cerebral palsy is a condition for which there is no cure. When it's diagnosed, it means that the child will endure a lifetime of struggles, the severity of which will depend on the severity of the cerebral palsy. Aside from the developmental problems, many with cerebral palsy do not have nearly the life expectancy of an average human being.

    If you have discovered that your child has cerebral palsy and you believe it was caused by a birth injury, you need the help of an experienced professional. Contact the birth injury lawyers at the law firm of Parilman & Associates today to schedule a free initial consultation.
