Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy is a serious birth injury that may result from
injury to the brain during childbirth or delivery due to lack of
oxygen or blood to the brain. Cerebral Palsy refers to a number of
neurological disorders that may range in severity from difficulty
controlling delicate motor functions to the inability to walk or
balance at all, cognitive impairment or seizures. At this time,
there is no cure for Cerebral Palsy. It can be treated and
symptoms maintained, leading to a child living a more normal life
in some cases. However, it is more than likely that a child with
Cerebral Palsy will require extensive medical attention and
treatment for life.
When an obstetrician, doctor, midwife or other medical
professional is negligent in the care of mother and baby before,
during and after childbirth, this may lead to serious birth injuries.
