Birth Injury

         3 to 4 percent of newborns suffer from birth-related injuries. The most common type of birth injury is cerebral palsy. Birth injury-related cerebral palsy is usually caused by birth asphyxia. It is usually due to failure to conduct a Caesarian Section. Failure to relieve an umbilical cord during birth can cause blockage of oxygen supply to the infant. It may also occur due to improper use of delivery forceps.

         Cerebral Palsy occurs due to damage to the infant’s brain during birth. If oxygen supply to the brain is low during birth, it can cause severe damage. The child will be unable to control movement and posture. He will be unable to walk and play normally.

         Living with a child with Cerebral Palsy can be emotionally and financially draining. If you suspect medical malpractice, consult a lawyer. The parents can claim compensation for life long care of their child. Cerebral palsy lawyers determine if medical malpractice occurred or not. They will guide you through the process of winning compensation. They will also inform you of your rights as a victim.

          Initial consultation with a cerebral palsy lawyer is free of charge. Different lawyers charge different fees. A lawyer with more experience in handling such cases will charge more fees. The complexity of the case may also be a factor in deciding fees. Free cerebral palsy consultations are also available online.

         Cerebral palsy is not completely curable. However, your child can live a productive life if he suffers from it.
