Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects movement, speech and co-ordination. Symptoms and severity vary from minor problems to severe disability.
There is no cure for it, but treatments can help people to lead as full and independent a life as possible.
Cerebral palsy can occur when a baby’s brain doesn’t develop properly in the womb. It can also occur if there are problems during or shortly after birth, such as reduced blood or oxygen supply to the brain.
Medical negligence in cerebral palsy cases can include:
We know money can’t change what has happened, but the truth is there are going to be a lot of costs when it comes to the ongoing care and needs of your child.
The condition is a lifelong problem and ongoing care may be needed, such as treatment and therapies, home care, alterations to your home or car, specialist equipment and mobility aids.
Cerebral palsy claims can result in the compensation that can help ease the pressure and give you a bit of peace of mind, knowing that you can provide specialist care for your child to help them lead as full a life as possible.
