About Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy refers to a group of neurological disorders often diagnosed in infancy or childhood. It affects an individual’s muscle development, coordination, movement, posture and balance. It is a permanent condition that can greatly impact a person’s physical capabilities, daily activities and ability to earn a living.
What Is a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit?
Some cases of cerebral palsy are caused by physical trauma or injury suffered by an infant before, during or right after birth. Brain injuries during the birthing process can interfere with the infant’s brain development, resulting in cerebral palsy.
In New Jersey, a birth injury claim can be filed for a case of cerebral palsy if there is evidence that a medical provider fell short of the standard of care in a way that caused the child’s brain injury.
Common examples include failure to monitor for signs of fetal distress, delayed reaction in an emergency, failure to order a timely C-section, failure to identify foreseeable complications, and improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors.
