A delivery room doctor can cause potentially permanent brain injury to a child if they do not take care when delivering the infant. This brain injury can lead to motor function loss known as cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy can include a variety of different disorders that may leave a growing child without the full strength or use of their body.
For a free consultation regarding your family’s rights if your child has developed cerebral palsy due to a physician’s mistakes, contact the Danville cerebral palsy attorneys of Spiros Law today.
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
