Our Michigan birth injury lawyers often handle cases for families of children born with cerebral palsy. Cerebral Palsy is a term used to describe a set of chronic disorders that impair the brain's ability to adequately control movement and posture. This disruption in the brain's ability to adequately control movement and posture is caused by faulty development or damage to the motor areas in the brain. By definition, Cerebral Palsy refers to the brain's two halves (cerebral) and, to any disorder involving the impairment of control of bodily movement (palsy).
Cerebral palsy can be caused due to medical errors and negligence both before and during the birth of a child. Brain damage causing cerebral palsy is permanent from the time of injury. Cerebral palsy has no cure. Although the brain damage that causes cerebral palsy cannot be cured, the functional problems associated with cerebral palsy can improve through therapy, medication or, in some cases, surgery.
People with Cerebral Palsy will need a variety of services to make life livable for them and gain them some measure of independence. Caring for someone with Cerebral Palsy is a significant monetary burden. The cost of medications, therapy, and lifetime treatment are expensive, as is adaptive equipment, schooling, transportation and other necessities.
In the event that cerebral palsy was due to medical negligence, a lawsuit can be filed to obtain a settlement to compensate the child and his parents. This often includes significant funds necessary to care for the child throughout his or her lifetime.
