Children with cerebral palsy may require a lifetime of care. Caused by brain damage in the newborn, cerebral palsy is a permanent condition that can cause a child to experience developmental delays, difficulty in moving or walking, difficulty with speech, erratic or jerky movements, stiffness, seizures, cognitive impairment, or vision and hearing problems. Spastic quadriplegia is a form of cerebral palsy in which all four limbs are affected. In the most severe cases of cerebral palsy, sufferers must have round-the-clock care and are confined to a wheelchair.

Faced with a lifetime of expenses for medical treatment, physical therapy, special equipment such as wheelchairs or stair lifts, medications, or home health aides, parents often feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to turn. If the injury was caused by medical malpractice, parents and their children may be eligible to obtain substantial financial compensation by means of a cerebral palsy lawsuit.
