What Is Cerebral Palsy?
Learn more about cerebral palsy and what to do if you suspect your child’s condition could have been prevented.
Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects how some people move and learn. It's caused by damage to the developing brain before or after birth.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one out of every 345 children in the United States has cerebral palsy.
Sometimes, cerebral palsy can happen because of a preventable mistake by a doctor or hospital during childbirth. This is called medical malpractice.
If you think your child has cerebral palsy because of medical malpractice, you might be able to pursue life-changing compensation for their treatment. An experienced birth injury lawyer can explain your rights and help get you the support you need.
