WHAT IS CEREBRAL PALSY AND WHAT CAUSES IT?

Cerebral palsy is a life-long medical neurological condition. It affects an individual's ability to control their bodily functions, including reflex, balance, gross and fine motor functions, and speech.

Cerebral palsy may not be visible at birth. Parents often notice something is wrong when their child begins missing important developmental milestones. After a serious of medical tests, they get the devastating news that their child has cerebral palsy. As if this news isn't difficult enough, it is often accompanied by the news that the condition was entirely preventable.

Common causes of cerebral palsy include birth injuries, specifically those resulting in oxygen deprivation to the brain, traumatic head injuries sustained during birth, fetal stroke and maternal infection.

If your OB/GYN made a mistake during birth that deprived your baby of oxygen or blood, resulted in brain trauma, or failed to diagnose or treat a medical condition that led to a fetal stroke in utero, you may have a medical malpractice claim.

- Couple receives a $1.35 million settlement from University of Virginia Medical Center in a case stemming from birth injuries of their son. Asphyxiated at birth, the boy has cerebral palsy, brain damage and will never live independently.

- Parents who sued a hospital and a doctor after their child suffered brain damage due to birth injuries agree to accept an $11.5 million settlement.
