Medical mistakes, lack of vital treatment in a crisis or mismanagement of the birth process are all factors in cerebral palsy birth injury cases.
Birth Injury : Cerebral Palsy
Texas Cerebral Palsy Attorneys know that in most birth injury cases, cerebral palsy is caused by damage to one or more specific areas of the brain - usually during the labor and delivery process from lack of oxygen. Cerebral Palsy, or CP, causes muscle weakness, loss of muscle control, brain damage, and damage to other major organs. Symptoms usually appear in the first few years of life and generally do not worsen over time. Unfortunately, cerebral palsy is not curable; however, physical therapy can help improve motor function.
Brain Damage Causes Cerebral Palsy
Birth injury cases account for only approximately fifteen (15%) percent to twenty (20%) percent of all cerebral palsy cases. Asphyxia, or suffocation, cord injuries, infections, ruptured placentas are common causes of cerebral palsy during the birth process.
If your child has any type of Cerebral Palsy such as Athetoid Cerebral Palsy, Spastic Cerebral Palsy, or Ataxic Cerebral Palsy caused by a medical mistake or negligence, feel comfort in knowing you have made a step in the right direction by contacting a Texas Cerebral Palsy Attorney who cares.
