Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is a type of physical condition that develops when infants have sustained brain injuries before, during or after the birthing process.  When people have cerebral palsy, they usually lack control of their muscles and may also have a very difficult time moving.  They may also have a difficult speaking, learning, hearing, seeing and/or thinking.  This is due to the fact that these skill sets are related to brain development and the brain injuries that people with cerebral palsy have may slow or hinder their development. 

When infants have cerebral palsy, they may be diagnosed shortly after their births.  Or, in some cases, diagnosis will occur later in their lives when they are going through key childhood developmental phases.  Once it is evident that a child has cerebral palsy, parents will be informed that cerebral palsy may lead to other symptoms as the child ages.  Some of these symptoms may include:  seizures, muscle spasms, learning disorders, hearing impairment and visual impairment.

Unfortunately, a cure for cerebral palsy does not exist.  This means that parents and children will have to learn to cope with this medical condition.  Additionally, children will most likely require lifelong treatment from physicians, specialists and physical therapists, which can be lead to surmountable medical bills over time.

While it can be very difficult to be a parent of a child that has cerebral palsy, it is important that parents realize they have resources at their disposal and may even be eligible to file personal injury claims if their children developed cerebral palsy due to medical negligence.  The best way for parents to learn more about their options is by working with a birth injury lawyer.  Our attorneys handle birth injury cases, including those that involve cerebral palsy, in San Diego.
