Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders characterized by loss of movement and/or loss of other nerve functions. It is caused by injuries to the brain that occur during fetal development or during labor or birth. If your child is suffering from this type of injury, you may need to consult with a cerebral palsy lawyer.

A birth injury can occur any time before, during, or after a child’s birth and can have lasting consequences. For instance, cerebral palsy is sometimes caused by medical errors, medical negligence, labor and delivery errors, or the failure to provide the appropriate care. A cerebral palsy diagnosis means a lifetime of special needs.
