Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term that covers many disorders that affect normal movements to various degrees of severity. Unfortunately, cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the fetal or infant brain that occurs before, within or during the first five years of birth. Such injuries usually happen due to someone’s fault, negligence or medical malpractice. Contact a Foot’s Bay personal injury lawyer without delay to seek compensation from those responsible for the injuries.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is often described as a condition in which an “intelligent mind is trapped in a disobedient body.” There may be various reasons for the condition, but it is most commonly caused by lack of oxygen to the brain even for a very short time during labor or birth. It results in lack of muscular co-ordination, since the motor control centers in the brain do not function properly, affecting both voluntary and involuntary movements, limiting both control and co-ordination, posture/movement/balance.
Unfortunately, parents may become aware of their child’s condition only a few years on. Early intervention through multi-disciplinary approach is crucial as the brain needs every chance to develop to its full potential. CP patients require life-long management.
Apart from physical/medical treatment, surgeries, medication etc CP patients also suffer from emotional trauma, pain and suffering, leading to huge financial burdens. Find a personal injury lawyer with experience in handling such cases for best result.
