Cerebral palsy is one of the
neurological disorders that can strike down a child at birth. While
it isn’t always an outcome of medical negligence (which means not
all cerebral palsy cases equate a medical malpractice case), several
instances may cause it to be so. In such cases, it is vital for the
loved ones to seek a birth injury lawyer’s help.
Cerebral palsy sometimes occurs when
the baby’s brain fail to receive sufficient oxygen prior to birth.
Some inherent factors also contribute to the potential development of
cerebral palsy, and an attending healthcare professional may have
overlooked them.
They include, among others, a
failure to constantly monitor and treat the mother for infections
during the pregnancy, improper handling of a prolapsed umbilical
cord, and failure to go for a caesarean section when the baby’s
head is too big for a natural delivery.
An independent medical professional
can determine which type of cerebral palsy the child is afflicted
with, giving further credence to the case and even possibly pinpoint
the people liable for the condition.
Spastic cerebral palsy is notable if
the patient has problems with moving their muscles, leading to an
inability to grip. Ataxic cerebral palsy has symptoms such as muscle
coordination difficulties, sense of balance issues, and poor depth
perception. Athetoid cerebral palsy will show through sudden jerks in
movement and slurred speech.
