The last thing any parent wants to hear is that the negligence of a medical professional caused their newborn child irreversable injury.
Cerebral palsy affects the brain and can be cause as a result of negligent medical attention during child birth. A child with cerebral palsy can suffer the following:
- Impaired motor skills
- Motor dysfunction
- Unsteady gait
- Irregular posture (excessively limp or excessively stiff)
Other problems such as spinal curvature, speech disorders, eating problems, weakness, poor respiratory control and learning disabilities and other problems are also associated with cerebral palsy.
Birth injuries can be devastating to the parents and to the newborn child's future. If you believe that your child's injury was caused by nurse, doctor or other practitioner's negligence, please contact a San Diego injury lawyer at our firm today.
