Connecticut Birth Injury Attorneys - Cerebral Palsy Lawyers
 Cerebral palsy can be caused by medical mistakes. Doctors, midwives and
nurses attending to a pregnant patient are required to be aware of warning signs
in the condition of mother or baby that could mean that the baby is at serious
risk. Medical personnel must be prepared to take prompt action when these signs
are present. It can mean the difference between having a healthy baby, and
having a seriously brain damaged baby.
The attorneys of
Haymond Law are committed to protecting the safety of
Connecticut’s families, and have recovered millions of dollars in medical
malpractice cerebral palsy verdicts for their clients.
Every year, nearly 100,000 wrongful deaths are attributable to medical
malpractice, and more than 1.3 million injuries are caused each year by
medication errors. In addition, approximately 3-5 babies in 1,000 are injured
during labor and delivery, and birth injury is one of the leading causes of
cerebral palsy.
Cerebral palsy is a group of permanent disorders associated with developmental
brain injuries that occur during fetal development, birth, or shortly after
birth. It is characterized by a disruption of motor skills, with symptoms such
as spasticity, paralysis or seizures. Cerebral palsy has been described as
something of an "umbrella term" in that it refers to a group of different
conditions. It has been suggested that no two people with cerebral palsy will
have an identical case even if they have the same diagnosis.
There are three main types of cerebral palsy:
Spastic Cerebral Palsy (stiff and difficult movement)
Athetoid Cerebral Palsy (involuntary and uncontrolled movement)
Ataxic Cerebral Palsy (disturbed sense of balance and depth perception)
There may be a combination of these types for any one person.
In some cases, a lawsuit can be brought against the medical practitioner(s)
involved, as well as the medical facility. A statute of limitations applies to
cerebral palsy medical malpractice claims, placing time limits on the amount of
time families have to pursue a cerebral palsy medical malpractice case.
