How Legal Assistance Can Pay for Cerebral Palsy Treatment
Learn what types of medical negligence can cause cerebral palsy and how to pursue financial compensation for your child’s treatment. Call us for legal help today at (855) 220-1101.
Cerebral palsy, or CP, is a lifelong condition that can require constant care and treatment.
It is also expensive. “How expensive?” you may ask.
Between therapy, medications, and special home accommodations, the CDC estimates that the lifetime cost to care for someone with CP is over 1.6 million dollars!
Understandably, many parents and family members aren’t prepared to pay for these unplanned medical expenses. Seeking legal aid can help families get much-needed compensation if there is evidence their child’s condition could have been prevented.
A qualified birth injury lawyer can figure out whether an act of negligence led to your child’s cerebral palsy.
Some examples of medical negligence include:
- Failing to detect infections during pregnancy
- Missing signs of fetal distress or lack of oxygen
- Neglecting to perform a C-section in a timely manner
- Using excessive force during delivery
- Neglecting to monitor a mother or baby’s heart rate during labor and delivery
- Improperly using forceps or vacuum extractors during delivery
- And failing to treat severe newborn jaundice
The best way to find out if your child is eligible for legal aid is to speak with a birth injury lawyer.
Contact us today for a free case evaluation and see if you’re entitled to compensation that can help your child get life-changing care.
