Cerebral Palsy Attorney in North Carolina

Has your child been diagnosed with cerebral palsy?

Cerebral palsy is a serious medical condition that affects thousands of children every year. If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, you should speak with an experienced attorney who can determine whether or not medical malpractice is to blame for your child's condition. If you can prove a mistake was made during labor or delivery by a doctor, nurse, or hospital, you may very well have a valid medical malpractice claim on your hands. An experienced North Carolina birth injury lawyer at Lanier Law Group can review the facts of your claim to determine whether or not malpractice was a possible factor in your child's injury, and then help you file a claim against the appropriate party.

What is cerebral palsy?

Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder, commonly caused by lack of oxygen to the brain, that affects control of the muscles, muscle movement, and body movement. Although there is no cure for cerebral palsy, there is no reason why a child who receives proper treatment cannot lead a full and nearly normal life. Naturally, the lifetime costs of caring for a child with cerebral palsy is quite expensive. In addition to basic medical care and doctor visits, children with cerebral palsy also require multiple medications, special adaptive equipment, special assistance at school, and ongoing physical therapy and speech therapy.
