Birth Injuries and Cerebral Palsy
Finding out that your child suffers from cerebral palsy is difficult news to process. Children with this condition can be affected in many different ways, making it hard to anticipate what kind of difficulties your child will face. In addition, cerebral palsy often requires long-term treatment such as physical therapy, behavioral therapy, and even surgery.
Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to a certain part of the brain, which can be caused by many different events or conditions. Genetics, injuries, and illness can all contribute to the development of this disorder. Sadly, cerebral palsy is sometimes caused by the very people charged with the duty of delivering infants safely.
If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a result of an OB-GYN worker’s error, you could be entitled to compensation for your related losses. To learn more, call the Houston personal injury lawyers of Williams Kherkher at 832-369-8296.
Mistakes with Lifelong Consequences
When delivery room workers make errors, an innocent child may be the one who must live with the consequences. You may want to discuss your legal options with our Houston cerebral palsy birth injury attorneys if your child has suffered from an error like:
- Failure to monitor vital signs during labor
- Spread of infection caused by unsterilized instruments or unhygienic environment
- Failure to adequately respond to a medical emergency
- Handling the child roughly or negligently
- Misuse of forceps, a vacuum, or other delivery tools
Your family should not have to live under severe financial burdens because a trusted medical worker committed an error like these.
