When Cerebral Palsy Didn’t Have to Happen

Cerebral palsy occurs when the brain is damaged before, during or shortly after birth. In many cases, the cause of the brain trauma cannot be determined and it is impossible to know what might have been done to prevent it. But in other cases, doctors and health care practitioners make mistakes that lead to brain damage in an otherwise healthy infant.

Malpractice Causes Cerebral Palsy When:

  • Seizures shortly after birth go unnoticed
  • Mistakes are made in prenatal care and in the delivery room
  • CPR is used improperly following birth
  • Forceps are used excessively
  • Complications arise from emergency C-sections
  • The infant undergoes certain testing--such as X-rays--shortly after birth
  • Other forms of negligence occur.
If your or your loved ones have been victim of such negligence, you must contact a cerebral palsy lawyer now!
