Cerebral Palsy is a group of disorders that affect movement control and can be the result of a variety of causes. Cerebral Palsy can be caused by an injury to an infant's brain before, during, or after the birthing process.

There are many different things that can injure an infant's brain causing neurological damage and although parents of a child with Cerebral Palsy can feel as if they are to blame for the Cerebral Palsy cause, brain injuries in a newborn are often caused by medical malpractice, which is a major cause of Cerebral Palsy. Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor and their medical staff fail to do something for you or your child that a responsible health care provider would do otherwise.

If you feel the following indicators may have or did occur, a medical mistake may have caused your child's Cerebral Palsy.

An emergency delivery with Vacuum, Forceps, or Cesarean Section. CPR after birth was required for your child.

Your child had seizures after birth or within the first few days of life.

Your child spent time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Your child needed oxygen to help the breathing process after birth.

A specialist was called in to care for your baby.

Tests like an MRI or brain scan were required for your child.

Some medical errors that are made by heath care providers during delivery that can cause Cerebral Palsy include but are not limited to:

Failing to recognize and treat seizures following delivery.

A child being left in the birth canal too long causing a lack of oxygen needed by the brain.

Not responding to a mother's high blood pressure or toxemia.

Not detecting a prolapsed umbilical cord which can reduce the supply of oxygen.

Not performing a C-Section in when fetal distress occurs. When large birth weight occurs, failing to perform a C-Section.

Failure to respond to changes in the fetal heart rate. Jaundice and or meningitis are not diagnosed.

Infections during pregnancy or around the time of birth that go undiagnosed such as, rubella, cytomegalovirus, and toxoplasmosis can be a Cerebral Palsy cause as well as kidney and urinary tract infections.
