Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that can be caused by lack of oxygen during a pregnancy. The condition may appear early in infancy or in childhood and permanently affects a child's movement and muscle coordination. If you have discovered that your child suffers from cerebral palsy, you may feel angry or frustrated to know that the disorder may have been caused by a doctor or through hospital negligence. At The Lawrence Firm, PSC we are dedicated to assisting the victims and families of medical negligence and cerebral palsy to help provide additional financial resources that will improve the quality of life of your disabled child.

A life-altering disorder resulting from negligence deserves compensation. Our attorneys understand the devastation and hopelessness felt by families who have brain injured children. When we pursue a birth injury claim, we are not only seeking to recover compensation for the brain injured child, but we are seeking to recover compensation and medical care for the brain injured 70 year-old that the infant will become.

Children born with cerebral palsy may not be diagnosed for months or years after birth. Early signs of the disorder usually appear before the child reaches the age of three. The child may suffer muscle tightening and spasms. The disorder usually affects the ability to swallow and may result in feeding tubes, pumps, or medications to loosen muscles.

• Cerebral palsy
