Do you know the cause of cerebral palsy?

If your child has cerebral palsy, you know the difficulties that surround this disorder. The multitude of therapies and educational changes you will have to make are astronomical, which is why you should know why your child has cerebral palsy.

There are several factors that could have led to the disorder in your child. In fact, most cases of cerebral palsy are a result of a combination of issues that occurred before, during and after birth. These factors include, but are not limited to:

* Birth defects, especially those affecting the brain, spinal cord, head, face, lungs, or metabolism

* Complications during labor and delivery

* Lack of oxygen (hypoxia) reaching the brain before, during, or after birth

* Brain damage early in life, due to infection (such as meningitis), head injury, lack of oxygen, or bleeding

If you are interested in learning whether a medical error may have been an important factor in causing your child, to have cerebral palsy, you should contact The Najdovski Law Firm today. When you left the hospital after your child’s birth, you were not handed the several boxes of paperwork detailing the events of your stay at the hospital. However, you can still discover what happened when our lawyers go through your child’s birth records with a fine-tooth comb. Our lawyers are willing to investigate the birth records of your child to determine if the hospital or doctors during delivery were at fault.
