Protecting Children with Cerebral Palsy and Their Families

Cerebral palsy is a birth injury caused by damage to a child's brain. Children with cerebral palsy generally have difficulty controlling their muscles and coordinating their movements.

Cerebral palsy can be caused by a variety of factors - including many effects that aren't related to mistakes during delivery. However, if your child is injured because of medical errors, you have a right to pursue a legal remedy. We can help you determine whether negligence caused your child's injuries, and help you pursue compensation when appropriate.

The long-term consequences of living with a birth injury can be very serious. Depending on the severity of cerebral palsy, a child may require a lifetime of care and medical treatments. Parents may be required to make physical modifications to their home and their child may need constant monitoring.
