What is Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral palsy is an impairment of the body that affects movement and it can occur during birth, pregnancy or childhood. It is an umbrella term for any non-progressive condition that has been caused by an issue with the brain. The effects of Cerebral Palsy can vary and, in severe cases, can leave a person with virtually no movement at all.
Although the causes of many cases of cerebral palsy are unknown, often it is caused by a baby’s oxygen supply being cut off during birth. If your child was born with cerebral palsy because of the negligence of a medical professional, you could be eligible to make a claim.
Can I Make a Cerebral Palsy Compensation Claim?
Cerebral palsy compensation claims are highly complex and this is why it is important to seek guidance from a legal expert. A lot of cerebral palsy are the result of doctors failing to act appropriately when there has been evidence of a baby’s distress whilst still in the mother’s womb or birth canal. Other cerebral palsy cases have arisen from:
- The mother or baby not being monitored properly
- Failure to interpret warning signs such as, falling heartbeat or meconium.
- Failing to deliver when it was necessary
- Failure to admit to a special care baby unit
At Precision Claims, we will handle every aspect of your case and our specialist clinical negligence team can offer you the advice you need to pursue a successful claim. This will involve working closely with medical professionals to ensure evidence can be found to support your case.
