Cerebral Palsy Cases
Each year, approximately 10,000 babies born in the United States develop cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a disorder of movement or coordination caused by an abnormality of the brain. It is a permanent and irreversible crippling condition affecting the central nervous system of an infant or a young child. More than 80% of people with cerebral palsy developed it either before they were born or before they were one month old. In many instances, the cause of the brain abnormality is unknown; however, there are many ways in which the negligence of a hospital delivery team can cuase cerebral palsy during the birth process.
Let Crary, Clark & Domanico help you determine whether your child and you may be entitled to monetary compensation for cerebral palsy.
Depending on the severity of their disability, people with cerebral palsy may need assistive devices for various tasks, specialized medical care, educational and social services, and other help throughout their lives from both their families and communities. The highly specialized care, therapy, and the challenges of raising a child with cerebral palsy involve very substantial expenditures of money and require an understanding of the condition, its limitations and demands, and love, patience, indulgence, and perseverance on the part of the parents and all other members of the immediate family.
