Chicago Cerebral Palsy Lawyers

Welcoming your newborn baby into the world should be a joy—not a stressful, heart-wrenching experience wrought with worry about your infant’s health. If—due to medical negligence—your newborn sustained serious birth trauma resulting in Cerebral Palsy (a motor condition that can lead to permanent disability), you have the right to seek compensation for your baby’s pain and suffering, disability, and medical expenses.

What Causes Cerebral Palsy?
Improper medical procedures during childbirth can cause a vulnerable infant to sustain serious trauma. Cerebral Palsy is a devastating condition that can sometimes be caused by a medical provider’s negligence, including:

  • Misdiagnosis of infant’s distress
  • Failure to promptly perform a C-section
  • Negligent use of suction
  • Improper usage of forceps
  • Inappropriate response to bleeding or birth complications
