Medical Malpractice during the birthing process can result in cerebral palsy, which is a chronic condition that affects the muscle coordination and body movement.  Damage to the brain during fetal development, the birthing process, and during infancy can cause cerebral palsy.  Cerebral Palsy is caused by faulty development or damage to the motor areas in the brain that disrupt the ability of the brain to control muscle movement.

If you believe that your child has suffered cerebral palsy as a result of medical malpractice or medical mistake, feel free to contact Cerebral Palsy Birth Injury Lawyer Jason Coomer for a free review of your Cerebral Palsy Medical Malpractice Lawsuit or Cerebral Palsy Birth Injury Medical Mistake Lawsuit.  Also, feel free to use our online submission form.

"Cerebral" refers to the brain and "palsy" to muscle weakness/poor control. Cerebral palsy itself is not progressive, but is a developmental problem that can occur during fetal development, the birthing process, or infancy.  Once a child has cerebral palsy, the child will not get worse over time, however, conditions such as muscle spasticity can develop which may get better or worse over time. Although cerebral palsy is not "curable", training and therapy treatments can help improve function.

The term "cerebral palsy" refers to any one of a number of neurological disorders that appear in infancy or early childhood and permanently affect body movement and muscle coordination. Even though cerebral palsy affects muscle movement, it isn’t caused by problems in the muscles or nerves.  It is caused by abnormalities or damage in parts of the brain that control muscle movements.  The majority of children with cerebral palsy are born with it, although it may not be detected until months or years later. The early signs of cerebral palsy usually appear before a child reaches 3 years of age.  The most common symptoms are a lack of muscle coordination when performing voluntary movements (ataxia); stiff or tight muscles and exaggerated reflexes (spasticity); walking with one foot or leg dragging; walking on the toes, a crouched gait, or a “scissored” gait; and muscle tone that is either too stiff or too floppy.  A small number of children have cerebral palsy as the result of brain damage in the first few months or years of life, brain infections such as bacterial meningitis or viral encephalitis, or head injury from a motor vehicle accident, a fall, or child abuse.

Cerebral Palsy usually occurs during fetal development, but can occur before, during, or shortly after birth; or during infancy. The faulty development or damage to motor areas in the brain disrupts the brain's ability to adequately control movement and posture.  Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy can range in severity.

Medical mistakes during the labor and delivery process are to blame for thousands of children with Cerebral Palsy. Unfortunately, many parents don't realize that their healthcare provider might be to blame for their child's Cerebral Palsy.

Medical mistakes during the labor and delivery process are to blame for thousands of children with nerve damage. Unfortunately, many parents don't realize that their healthcare provider might be to blame for their child's neurological problems. If your child suffers from a brachial plexus injury, Erb's palsy, cerebral palsy or other neurological problem you may want to determine if:

• The fetal heart pattern of the your infant was strong and a vaginal birth was in both the child's and mother's best interest.

• Was there a hyperstimulation of the uterus and if so were the correct drugs administered at the correct levels and were other drugs including the use of oxytocin discontinued at the correct time.

• Were there abnormal pressure readings and if so was an intrauterine pressure catheter used

• Was this a diabetic pregnancy and was there abnormal post glucola test.  If so, was it properly acted upon.

• Was reasonable care taken to avoid placing too much pressure on the fetus including avoiding lateral traction on the head of the fetus at the time of delivery?

• Were proper techniques such as the McRobert's maneuver or the corkscrew maneuver used, instead of simply applying supapubic pressure during delivery?
