Does Your Baby Have Cerebral Palsy?

The Doctor May Be to Blame and Our Washington DC Medical Malpractice Lawyers May Be Able to Help

At Pollack & Flanders, LLP, our lawyers help and support our clients and their families after a cerebral palsy diagnosis.

Cerebral palsy is a birth injury resulting from the oxygen supply being cut off to the brain. This can happen for many reasons, including the umbilical cord being wrapped around the infant’s neck or a difficult delivery (breech birth, a child’s head being too large for the birth canal, etc), fetal distress or maternal distress.

Cerebral palsy causes physical and mental defects, which can be mild, moderate or severe.  Often, it does not show up until years after the birth. Once there is a cerebral palsy diagnosis, our Washington DC medical malpractice attorney step in to provide legal counsel and to make arrangements so that your baby is taken care of. We want to determine whether a doctor’s error led to brain asphyxia.

If medical negligence caused your child’s cerebral palsy, an experienced Washington DC medical malpractice lawyer may be able to help your case. We can provide you with the encouragement and support you need. Contact our Washington DC law firm today.
