Most parents of children with cerebral palsy do not realize that their child's birth injury may have been caused by medical malpractice. While most physicians, hospitals, and healthcare professionals provide the quality care that we rely on, it is an unfortunate series of events that can lead to the tragic consequences of a birth injury. If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, you should consider contacting a lawyer to discuss your specific situation. Experienced cerebral palsy lawyers can help you to determine if a medical mistake was made - and advise you of your legal options if applicable.

What types of medical errors can lead to a birth injury / cerebral palsy? This is a frequent question asked by parents, and there is not a short answer. Often a birth injury may be caused by a series of complications that may include:

• Failure to declare and properly respond to fetal distress;
• Failure to act in a timely manner;
• Failure to properly read monitoring data;
• Administration of too much Pitocin;
• Misdiagnosis, negligence, or other types of medical malpractice.
