Cherry Hill Fetal Brain Injury Attorneys
Has your child been diagnosed with cerebral palsy? This serious condition can be present before birth, but it can also occur as a birth injury during the delivery process. It can even develop after childbirth. In most cases, the condition is diagnosed between the ages of four months and two years. If you believe that the condition was caused by the negligence of a doctor during childbirth, you can enlist an experienced attorney to help you get compensation.
The Ferrara Law Firm, LLC, has been standing up for the rights of parents throughout New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania since 1972. Success in these cases takes tremendous skill and experience, which we have. This fact is proven by the millions of dollars in compensation we have already obtained for victims.
Causes of Cerebral Palsy
There are many potential causes of cerebral palsy, including anoxia caused by the umbilical cord wrapping around the infant's neck either before or during childbirth. It can also be caused by head trauma that results from the improper use of forceps during delivery, breech delivery or some similar mishandling of the delivery. Infections, such as rubella or herpes, can also cause this condition, as can the incorrect use of certain medications that may have a negative impact on the respiratory system.
In many cases, these problems could have been avoided had a doctor followed proper procedure. When medical malpractice causes cerebral palsy, negligent doctors should be held accountable for the lives they change.
These Injuries Require a Lifetime of Medical Care
There is no quick medical fix for cerebral palsy. In most cases, the child will require a lifetime of medical care. This is extremely expensive. Our lawyers strive to see that all medical expenses and all related expenses are covered through adequate compensation.
