In the United States there are close to 10,000 infants born with Cerebral palsy (CP) each year. According to statistics there are over 1 million people in the United States that are living with cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that can cause low muscle tone also referred to as hypotonia. Due to low muscle tone, an infant may have delayed motor skills resulting in little movement, vision and hearing problems, speech impediment, and learning disabilities.

There are many different factors which can cause cerebral palsy. These factors may include:

• Asphyxia
• Exposure to radiation
• Fetal distress
• Improper delivery techniques
• Interventricular hemorrhage
• Lack of oxygen
• Lead poisoning
• Meningitis
• Premature births
• Rubella
• Seizures
• Shaken baby syndrome
• Umbilical cord wrapped around the neck

There are essentially four different variations of cerebral palsy; Ataxic cerebral palsy, Athetoid cerebral palsy, Mixed cerebral palsy and Spastic cerebral palsy. There are many challenges for those children born with CP. These variations can range from mild to severe. CP is medically challenging for both the patient and family. Depending upon the severity, a child may require around the clock monitoring by a nurse or caretaker.

Children that develop CP from a birth injury can have productive lives however they face many obstacles that healthy children will never face. They may go through years of physical therapy and some may require medical devices for assistant living.  People will CP may also have a hard time interacting with others and some become emotionally and psychologically affected.  

The costs associated with cerebral palsy can exceed into the millions. While Medicaid and private insurance may pick up a large portion of expenses, there are always additional expenses that are never be covered. In some cases a parent will be forced to stop working to care for their child. This can create tremendous financial uncertainty for any family.

When cerebral palsy is caused by medical malpractice or errors the family should be entitled to significant compensation. Compensation may include both compensatory and punitive damages. Cerebral palsy lawsuits are never easy nor are they open and closed. These types of lawsuits can take years before a family is compensated.
