What Is Cerebral Palsy?
The term cerebral palsy refers to a group of neuromuscular disorders caused by damage to a baby’s brain in the womb, during delivery, or, in some cases, immediately after delivery. Symptoms of cerebral palsy include slow development (e.g., delays in reaching developmental milestones such as rolling over, crawling, and talking) and impaired motor control, coordination, sight, and hearing.
Contact York Law Corporation if your child shows these symptoms or has already been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Our attorneys represent clients throughout the North Bay Area.
Causes of Cerebral Palsy
Typically, cerebral palsy is caused by a doctor’s error (medical malpractice) either during a woman’s pregnancy or during delivery. Some common physician errors that can cause cerebral palsy include a doctor’s failure to:
- Detect a fetus’ abnormal positioning in the womb prior to delivery
- Detect a woman’s use of unsafe prescription drugs or illegal drugs during pregnancy
- Use forceps or suction devices safely during delivery
- Detect and treat injury to a newborn’s brain
- Prevent extremely premature birth
