Amount of Damages

Cerebral palsy can be a permanent condition that affects almost all aspects of a person's life. The effects can be devastation, but when CP is caused by medical malpractice, the affected family may be entitled to compensation. The amount of damages will be determined by the degree of the injury as well as the number of parties responsible for the injuries.

Most cerebral palsy cases are settled out of court. In settlement, the victim (plaintiff) and the negligent medical professional (defendant) agree to resolve their case in a manner that both parties accept. If, however, the two parties are unable to come to an agreement the case will go to trial. At the time of trial the jury and a judge will decide on the amount that the plaintiff is owed--via their verdict.

A skilled lawyer can provide convincing evidence of the ongoing costs your child will be liable for so you get an appropriate settlement.

Medical Costs

A cerebral-palsy settlement might provide funds to pay for medical equipment and treatments. It can also cover the cost of specialists, caregivers and other services that your child needs to live an active, healthy life. This includes the cost of medications, special diets, and physical therapy.

These expenses can be very expensive, and your family shouldn't be forced to pay them alone. Your CP attorney can help you receive the compensation you need to cover these expenses and more.

In many instances, medical mistakes are the reason behind a brain injury that causes CP. In the end, it is possible to hold nurses, doctors and other medical professionals accountable for their mistakes in the form of a civil lawsuit.

A woman in her 25th week of pregnancy goes to the emergency department due to extreme discomfort and low fetal heart rates. The obstetricians discharged her, but then returned as the symptoms grew more severe. Doctors eventually discover they are in labor, but they don't perform C sections. The baby is born suffering from heplegic cerebral paresthesia and seizures, and requires 24/7 medical attention. Parents sue both doctors and the hospital, and settle for $103,075,618.

No matter what type of CP regardless of the type, you could be entitled to a substantial amount in a settlement. Your family will be able to handle these costs with the amount you receive.

Suffering and Pain

Cerebral Palsy is a condition that affects a person's posture and balance and also limits their movement. It's caused due to disturbances in the brain during the development of the fetus or infancy, and is not reversed. These disturbances may be caused by infections, abnormalities of the uterus, umbilical cord or placenta, problems with blood flow, or genetic conditions.

People with CP have a diminished quality of life. The severity of symptoms can vary, but they all affect the ability to move, walk and communicate, as well as perform everyday activities. They also suffer from pain and discomfort. Many sufferers have difficulty coping with their condition and struggle to receive the treatment they require.

Adults suffering from CP suffer from pain more frequently than the general population and with higher levels. It can hinder daily activities and lead to mental distress and depression. It's estimated that over three-quarters of people suffering from CP have moderate to severe pain.

A seasoned CP attorney can advocate for the rights of your child and ensure that you receive an agreement that covers all long-term damages and costs. Even a case that is filed years after the birth injury occurred can be successfully fought to trial or an acceptable settlement. Your legal team can use your medical records, as well as witnesses' testimony as well as school records and any other evidence to support your CP injury claim.

Lifelong Costs

This includes therapy costs, medical expenses, education, housing and medical equipment. Our CP attorneys will help you determine the costs so that you can be sure that the right amount in your settlement is included.

A cerebral palsy settlement is an agreement to pay a financial settlement between the injured person and a negligent health care provider in order to settle a case without having to go to court. Lawyers for both sides will usually attempt to reach a dollar amount which both sides are pleased with, so that there is no need for the need for a trial. However, if the two parties fail to agree the case will go to court for a trial verdict by a judge jury.

Your lawyer will create a solid case for your family's claims by gathering evidence of the injuries your child sustained and how the actions of your doctor prior to, during and after birth contributed to that injury. They will also establish that the doctor violated the accepted standard of treatment for a birth injury. This will include examining the medical records of your child and bringing in expert witnesses, and showing that the doctor's errors directly caused your child's CP. They will also quantify the pain and suffering of your child and the impact it has had on their life.
