What is Cerebral Palsy?
People with cerebral palsy often have limited control of their muscles and body. Muscular impairment, lack of motor coordination, and speech and learning difficulties are some of the characteristics of cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is not classified as a disease, as it cannot be contracted from contact with those who have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy affects the part of the brain called the cerebrum. Cerebral palsy often affects both arms, both legs, or all limbs of a victim and is a permanent brain disorder. Though there is no cure, the condition can change over time. Cerebral palsy victims' conditions can improve, decline or remain stable over time. Our cerebral palsy attorneys in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania can review your case and help you decide what steps to take if your child suffers from cerebral palsy.
Cerebral Palsy Causes
Cerebral palsy is caused by brain injury during or before birth. The precise reasons cerebral palsy develops are not known, but it is linked to the health of the pregnant mother and child during and shortly after pregnancy. Oxygen shortage, jaundice, infections in the fetus and mother during pregnancy, and several other conditions have been associated with the development of cerebral palsy in infants.
As with other types of birth injury, cerebral palsy often leads to emotional, physical and financial strain for the victims and families involved. Often, cerebral palsy patients require life-long medical treatment. Our cerebral palsy lawyers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania know that when cerebral palsy is the result of the negligent actions or inactions of a medical professional, a medical malpractice suit can lead to compensation for patients and their families.
