My child has cerebral palsy. Does that mean their birth was mishandled?

My child has cerebral palsy. Does that mean their birth was mishandled?

Not necessarily. Cerebral palsy has multiple causes, and not all cases are linked to birth trauma or medical negligence. A thorough medical and legal investigation — including review of prenatal records, delivery records, placental pathology, and MRI findings — is required to determine whether negligence played a role. We conduct this investigation free of charge for families who contact us. If negligence is found, we pursue it vigorously. If it is not, we will tell you honestly.
