The birth of a child should be among the most joyous moments of your life. But if your child is born with Cerebral Palsy or other serious birth defects, it might be the result of negligent mistakes made by your doctor or hospital staff.
Cerebral Palsy is a term used to describe a group of disorders affecting body movements and muscle coordination. Variations include Brachial Plexus Palsy, Klumpke's Palsy, and Erb's Palsy. All are caused by damage to different areas of the brain before, during, or shortly following birth. The effects, depending on which areas of the brain have been damaged, include:
- Abnormal Perception and Sensation
- Impairment of Speech, Hearing or Sight
- Involuntary Movement
- Mental Retardation
- Muscle Spasm or Tightness
- Problems in Gait and Mobility
- Seizures
The Columbia SC Cerebral Palsy attorneys at Sanders & Nettles can use experts to prove if doctors were negligent in preventing Cerebral Palsy and brain damage. These experts look for deviations from the standard of care and carefully examine the neonatal records as well as the fetal heart monitor strip. By carefully evaluating these and other factors, the experts can determine if the performance of doctors and/or medical staff resulted in unnecessary brain damage to your child.
When medical professionals and institutions are made to pay for their negligence, financial compensation to victims can provide injured children the specialized care they need. As a parent, you're entitled to learn what caused your child's disability. At Sanders & Nettles our experienced Cerebral Palsy lawyers fight to get the answers you need, and the justice your child deserves.
