Cerebral Palsy

When a Medical Error Causes Cerebral Palsy …

The pregnancy went well. The birth process is underway. And then … the fetal monitor goes flat and no one takes action to help a baby in distress. That failure to act can mean the baby will suffer brain damage that causes cerebral palsy. If your baby has cerebral palsy caused by a doctor's negligence, talk to a medical malpractice lawyer at the O'Connor, Parsons & Lane L.L.C. law firm in Westfield and Chatham, New Jersey.

Legal Help for Children With Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is a life-long condition. As the baby grows up, he or she will always need medical attention related to cerebral palsy. Depending on the brain damage done, the CP can vary in severity.

• Fetal distress can be a result of prolonged labor. The doctor and other medical staff need to carefully watch the monitor for signs of a fetus in trouble.
• A lack of oxygen to the brain can be caused by the umbilical cord wrapping around the neck or by a dangerous position in the birth canal. To ignore variability in the monitor is physician error.
• When handling a cerebral palsy case, our lawyers consult with medical experts and life care planners to determine life expectancy and what it will cost to care for a person with cerebral palsy.
• In addition to the child's problems, we seek compensation for the parents' emotional distress. Reorganizing your life and priorities to care for a disabled child you love and cherish can require emotional support.
