Cerebral Palsy

Syracuse Cerebral Palsy Attorney

Supporting Syracuse Families with Cerebral Palsy Claims

One of the more serious birth injuries is cerebral palsy, which has a lifelong effect on children and their families. In some cases, cerebral palsy is the direct result of negligence by a medical professional. The birth injury attorneys at Cherundolo Law Firm, PLLC hold these negligent professionals accountable and help families get the financial compensation they need and deserve.

Cerebral palsy is a disorder in which children have a loss or impairment of motor function. It is caused by damage to the brain before, during or after a child's birth. This damage can be physical or a result of lack of oxygen to the brain. As a result, normal signals from the brain don't reach the muscles in the body.

Identifying Medical Negligence Leading to Cerebral Palsy

  • Delaying delivery
  • Failure to diagnose medical issues related to pregnancy
  • Improper use of forceps or vacuum extraction
  • Failure to identify umbilical cord problems
  • Failure to properly monitor fetus or mother's health

The effects of cerebral palsy last a lifetime. In addition to the physical and emotional impact on victims and their families, there is also a tremendous financial impact. The care and support required for people with cerebral palsy can be very costly.
