Cerebral Palsy Lawsuits
Our Michigan cerebral palsy malpractice lawyers represent children and their families in cases involving birth injuries that cause cerebral palsy. If your baby has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy and you believe that the condition was the result of negligent medical care by a doctor, hospital, or nurse, you should look further into a possible lawsuit.
A cerebral palsy lawsuit is a medical malpractice type of lawsuit that is a based on evidence of negligent or care that caused or contributed to this condition in a newborn. Not every diagnosis of cerebral palsy means that there is a lawsuit, but rather it must be proven that the condition was the result of medical negligence. Our lawyers will review the entire medical chart, from pre-natal care all the way through childbirth, to determine whether the condition was caused by malpractice.
Damages in Cerebral Palsy Cases
In this type case, we seek damages for the child and family for the significant expense caused by the condition. This includes the cost of medical care , nursing care, educational expenses, future life care planners (cost of past and future medical treatments , nursing care, education, evaluations, home care, modifications, ..etc and other damages that the parents of the child will be entitled to collect as monetary damages.
