Cerebral Palsy Cases

Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect brain function, movement and bodily control. Cerebral palsy can be caused by injury to the brain before, during, or after birth.

The doctors caring for the pregnant mother and the unborn baby are responsible for adequate care during the pregnancy, labor, delivery, and immediately after the birth of the infant. Failing to take adequate care can result in the doctors and nurses being held accountable for problems related to the pregnancy. These problems can include:

Failure to respond to the changing condition and position of the unborn baby during labor

Failure to treat conditions in the mother during pregnancy

Failure to take tests during pregnancy; or not interpreting these tests properly

Failure to deliver via cesarean section if there is a problem during the birth

Over use of vacuum extraction.
