Zach Eagling, nine, who has cerebral palsy and epilepsy A YOUNG boy with a serious disability is “looking to the future” after securing a settlement to pay for the specialist care and equipment he will need for the rest of his life. When Zach Eagling was born in 2011, he was in a poor condition and there were problems and delays in resuscitating him; shortly afterwards he was found to have a brain injury. Aged three, Zach, now nine, from Liversedge, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, a disorder which affects his mobility and cognitive development. After his diagnosis, Zach’s mum Claire Keer got in touch with local law firm Irwin Mitchell and asked them to investigate the care provided to her son.
