Hiring a Cerebral Palsy Lawyer

Birth injury lawsuits involving cerebral palsy are often complicated. Proving that negligence on the part of health care providers is the cause of a child’s permanent disability demands the knowledge and skill of a cerebral palsy lawyer with a long history of successfully litigating similar cases and securing fair compensation for injured children and their families. Not all malpractice attorneys have experience in birth injury litigation; that’s why it’s imperative that parents who are considering legal action choose a law firm with decades of expertise handling cerebral palsy cases.

At Eisbrouch Marsh, our lawyers specialize in claims involving cerebral palsy birth injuries. For more than 45 years, our network of dedicated legal associates has stood by the side of innocent families faced with the life-shattering consequences of medical negligence. Our practice is supported by an in-house medical team that carefully scrutinizes all delivery room records to determine whether physician error played a role in your child’s brain damage and subsequent cerebral palsy diagnosis.

Apart from our multi-million dollar verdicts and cerebral palsy settlements, our commitment and passion for balancing the scales of justice is what sets us apart from other firms. Most importantly, we can help to ensure that your child receives the benefits he or she deserves for the rest of their lives.

Protect your legal rights and the needs of your child

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that the lifetime costs associated with raising a child with cerebral palsy can easily surpass $1 million. These estimates don’t even factor in the out-of-pocket expenditures for ER visits, medical equipment such as wheelchairs, special schooling, and lost income for the parent who stays home to care for the child. Hiring a veteran lawyer who can build a strong case enables families to focus on the needs of their child, rather than worrying about litigation.

Whether settled out of court or tried before a jury, a cerebral palsy lawsuit can generate substantial compensation for the victim and his or her family. The amount of damages awarded will depend on the extent of the alleged malpractice, along with the severity of the child’s cerebral palsy and long-term prognosis.

A settlement or jury verdict will also take into consideration factors such as pain and suffering, medical expenses, nursing care, lost wages, emotional trauma, diminished quality of life, and other losses.

Legal advocacy for victims of birth injury malpractice

The unfortunate reality is that medical malpractice is to blame for countless incidents of fetal brain damage and cerebral palsy every year. As parents of a child with CP, you have the right to know if his or her condition was caused by doctor negligence or medical mistakes made before, during or shortly after delivery. By investigating the details and circumstances of your case, a cerebral palsy lawyer can establish if you have grounds to pursue legal recourse.
