When is Cerebral Palsy a Birth Injury?

Cerebral palsy can develop when the baby’s brain does not receive enough oxygen or faces other serious complications while in the womb or during the birthing process. Children born with this condition need extra care, which is oftentimes expensive. They may not be able to perform the basic functions needed to live independently. With a lifetime of medical treatment, physical therapy, and more, securing compensation from the responsible parties can help to ease the consequences of this financial burden.

Actions that may result in cerebral palsy include:

• Applying force to the head during birth
• Failure to help a mother or infant in distress
• Failure to complete a C-section
• Improper use of birthing tools
• Lack of fetal monitoring
• Wrong use of an epidural
