Experienced Champaign Cerebral Palsy Attorneys
Champaign, IL: Office | Visit Us
If a delivery room doctor fails to take proper care during childbirth, a baby can suffer a serious brain injury. In some cases, this injury may cause cerebral palsy—a condition that affects motor skills and muscle control. Children with cerebral palsy may face lifelong challenges, including limited strength, movement, or coordination.
Your family doesn’t have to face this alone. If your child developed cerebral palsy because of a doctor’s mistakes, the Champaign cerebral palsy attorneys at Spiros Law are here to help. Contact us today for a free consultation to learn about your rights and legal options.
Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy
The most obvious signs that a baby has been affected by cerebral palsy are:
- Irregular posture
- Muscle tone
- Bone and joint deformities
- Uncontrollable spasms
- Tight muscles
Because many of the symptoms of cerebral palsy manifest later or are associated with functions of older children, it may not be immediately obvious that your child has acquired this condition.
There are many ways in which medical malpractice can lead to the development of cerebral palsy, such as:
- Failure to ensure that the baby has enough oxygen
- Inability to remove the baby from the birth canal
- Improper use of forceps
- Failure to fix an umbilical cord condition
- Failure to recognize unusual positioning during the birth
