In the 19th century a surgeon named William Little wrote about an unknown disorder that caused stiff muscles in legs and arms. Affected children did not get any better or any worse as they aged and the cause of the condition was eventually recognized as damage to, or inadequate development of, areas in the brain which, amongst other effects, disrupts the ability to control movement and posture. Symptoms include difficulty performing delicate tasks, maintaining balance, walking and involuntary movements. Some victims of this condition also suffer from other problems including seizures or mental impairment. This condition may be as a result of a 'birth defect' or acquired immediately before or during labor or shortly after birth, often as a result of medical malpractice, the implications of which will be explained in full by our expert cerebral palsy lawyers.

Cerebral Palsy is a catastrophic injury, altering the lives of both victims and their families forever. Most families don't have the resources to cover all of the expenses and provide for the child victim's treatment over his or her lifetime. Our cerebral palsy lawyers can assist your child to receive the compensation they deserve. If your child's condition resulted from medical malpractice, we can help you assert your child's rights and get the compensation that your child needs and deserves.

People suffering from cerebral palsy often endure difficult medical, social, and educational development and whilst compensation cannot repair the damage that has been done it can make life easier and more comfortable. Compensation that can be claimed by our cerebral palsy lawyers includes items for :-

  • care and assistance for the past and for the future
  • pain and suffering (including psychological damage);
  • loss of amenities of life
  • special equipment and alterations to accommodation
  • medical expenses for the past and for the future

The medical profession which includes consultants, doctors, nurses midwives and hospital technicians usually provides a caring service with a high standard of excellence for their patients however there are occasions when things go wrong and if your child has been injured as a result of a failure by the medical profession and the injury was caused or contributed to by a breach of duty of care then your child may be entitled to financial compensation for medical malpractice.
