Experienced Birth Injury Attorneys in Manhattan
Cerebral palsy claims and lawsuits are highly complex and involve a number of technical details that could be missed by an attorney lacking experience. If your loved one has cerebral palsy, you need the experience of a New York birth injury attorney in Manhattan who understands the medical field. Only a qualified attorney will be able to review your claim, make an accurate determination as to whether malpractice led to your child’s condition and direct your course of action. Because cerebral palsy may not be diagnosed immediately, it is important to obtain a knowledgeable attorney right away if you suspect an issue with the birth of your child. This injury can have life-long consequences to the baby and the family, as you will face a lifetime of medical treatment and care.
What Causes Cerebral Palsy?
The majority of children who have cerebral palsy are born with it. A small percentage of children may develop it after birth due to various other reasons.
The specific cause of cerebral palsy has been debated by experts in the field, but is generally agreed to be caused by:
A lack of oxygen to the brain
Central nervous system infections
Infections to the mother before or during birth
Birth trauma
Premature delivery
