Cerebral Palsy Birth Injury Attorneys in NYC
Cerebral palsy describes a group of disorders typically related to an individual's inability to control motor function. Typically, cerebral palsy is categorized into four types: spastic cerebral palsy, athetoid or dyskinetic cerebral palsy and ataxic cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is most often caused by oxygen deprivation or brain damage during the birthing process. Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff LLP is one of the leading birth injury law firms in New York City. Our attorneys have in-depth experience in birth injury cases involving cerebral palsy.
The medical care for children and adults diagnosed with cerebral palsy can be financially and emotionally challenging. Cerebral palsy can require a lifetime of medical care to deal with the physical disorders. Your child may need to work with speech pathologists, occupational therapists, psychiatrists and physical therapists as well. Our lawyers have successfully resolved numerous cerebral palsy cases. We have also earned successful verdicts for our clients in trial.
We will look closely into the circumstances of your child's care. If medical negligence is responsible for your child's condition, we will take action. In every labor and delivery, medical professionals must make a number of important decisions. If these decisions are made incorrectly, tragedy can result. For example:
- If the infant is suffering from seizures, those involved in the birth must recognize and treat these seizures
- If the fetus is in distress, the doctor must perform a Caesarean section (C-section) birth in a timely fashion.
There are other causes of failure such as the failure to detect a prolapsed umbilical cord, the improper use of delivery forceps or a vacuum extractor. Whatever the cause of your child's cerebral palsy, our New York cerebral palsy attorneys and lawyers will get to the bottom of it. Once the negligent parties are identified, we will work diligently to recover the financial compensation your child needs to live with dignity and comfort.
