_______________________________________________________________ Medical Malpractice and Cerebral
Palsy Claims
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.

suffered cerebral palsy as a result of medical malpractice,

Negligence Lawsuits
"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. If your child suffers from Cerebral
Palsy and you believe it was caused by negligence, feel free
to contact Texas Cerebral Palsy Lawyer Jason Coomer for a
review of your potential
Medical Negligence Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit.

Federal and Texas Medical Malpractice Claims
Federal Tort Claims and Texas Medical
Malpractice Claims are
some of the most complicated types of cases in the practice
of law. As a Texas medical malpractice lawyer that has handled
medical malpractice claims, I have worked with other Federal
Medical Malpractice Lawyers, Texas Medical Malpractice
Lawyers, and Texas Cerebral Palsy Lawyers to seek compensation from negligent doctors
and negligent health care providers that
have severely injured or killed patients through medical
mistakes and medical carelessness.
If you have a medical negligence claim
regarding Cerebral Palsy, wrongful death, shoulder dystocia,
or other serious injuries against a Federal
Hospital, Texas Hospital, medical doctor, or other health
care provider, feel free to contact Texas Medical Negligence
Lawyer Jason Coomer.
To have a successful claim, you have to
have another doctor state that medical malpractice occurred
and it resulted in damages. This negligence has to be
more than just a bad result or judgment call, it has to
deviate from the standard of care in the medical community. If you need a Federal Medical Malpractice
Lawyer or a Texas Medical Malpractice Lawyer, feel free to
contact Austin Attorney, Jason S. Coomer.
