Birth injury lawsuits demand significant compensation for both the child and family. A common condition that gives rise to litigation is cerebral palsy. Many lawsuits alleged that medical negligence before, during, or after childbirth was the cause of the condition.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a medical condition that requires long-term supportive care services. Those with cerebral palsy often have other associated medical conditions, including cognitive challenges, vision loss, hearing impairment, and seizures.
The family of a child with cerebral palsy is likely to incur significant expenses related to the ongoing need for medical care, special education services, developmental assistance, and assisted living. This child will also suffer a lifetime of lost earnings and will require care when the parents or guardians are no longer able to provide it.
