What Is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy refers to disorders that prevent the brain from controlling the body’s movements properly. Cerebral palsy is caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain. There are many ways that such a lack of oxygen occurs. Many of them happen during childbirth.

Cerebral Palsy During Childbirth

Childbirth is an event that presents many risks. Doctors and their support staff have an obligation to continuously monitor the health of the mother and the child before, during and after childbirth. For example, signs of fetal distress may be an indicator that emergency measures need to be taken such as performing a cesarean section.

There are many ways in which a doctor and his or her team may fail to provide the appropriate standard of care during childbirth and cause cerebral palsy.

As a result, you may have a cause of action against the physician for medical malpractice.
