How to Make a Successful cerebral palsy law firms Palsy Claim
A diagnosis of cerebral palsy has a profound effect on the child and their family. Compensation can allow them to have a fulfilling life by giving them access to the equipment, care and assistance.
Many cases of cerebral palsy result from medical negligence. This could be caused by the lack of care during pregnancy, problems during birth, or other occurrences.
Causes
Early diagnosis and treatment of CP can enhance a child's abilities. Doctors determine CP based on the child's muscle coordination and tone. They can refer the child to specialists such as neurologists, pediatric orthopedists, and physiatrists who will aid in managing symptoms and improve quality of life.
Everyone is affected by cerebral palsy in a unique way. It can be moderate and have only a slight impact on a child's abilities, or it can be severe and cause impairments across all body areas. Symptoms can include the appearance of a floppy (floppy neck) head and muscles that are stiff or uncontrolled and walking difficulties, or having trouble with speech and other functions. If a child has cerebral palsy on one side of the body, it's known as hemiplegia; on both sides, it's diplegia. Severe CP can result in a locked-in (spastic) condition with muscle spasticity that restricts the person's movement and can lead to difficulties with speech and eating.
Birth complications are an often-repeated cause of CP. Nurses, midwives, and doctors must be careful when delivering babies because damage to the brain can result in serious consequences. If a medical mistake results in oxygen deprivation or other brain damage that causes cerebral palsy, the doctor may be held liable for malpractice. This could include negligence in scheduling or performing an urgent C-section or failing to monitor and escalate a complex labor.
Symptoms
If your child has cerebral palsy, he or is likely to have an array of physical symptoms. The symptoms can include stiff or tight muscles, a limp, uncontrolled movements, and problems with balance and posture. Other problems can include speech delays, intellectual disabilities and hearing and vision problems.
The symptoms of cerebral palsy are caused by damage to an immature brain. It usually occurs in the early years of childhood. The delay in milestones such as rolling over, sitting, walking, or crawling can be an indication of CP. Children with CP are also more likely to experience trouble swallowing and might need feeding tubes.
Many factors can contribute to the development of an injury to the brain that causes CP and other conditions, such as rubella, cytomegalovirus or toxoplasmosis in the womb as well as high blood pressure during pregnancy and genetic predisposition. A serious lack of oxygen to the brain (asphyxia) during the birth or during labor is a major cause for CP as is the occurrence of bleeding in the brain from blood vessels that are damaged or blocked.
Based on the kind of cerebral palsy, symptoms can vary from mild to severe. Spastic cerebral palsy (characterized by stiff muscles) is the most prevalent form. Dyskinetic cerebral palsy (also called athetoid or choreoathetoid) involves uncontrolled and slow motions of the arms, legs and the body. Other forms of CP may include ataxic cerebral palsy, which is characterized by an unstable motion, or paraplegic cerebral palsy in which the arms and legs are affected.
Treatment
While the symptoms specific to cerebral palsy are different, the majority of sufferers of the condition have to cope with stiffness and loss of muscle control. They may also have issues with coordination and balance. The type of movement problems they experience is dependent on the region of the brain that was injured as well as the degree of the injury.
Many people with CP require specialized physical therapy to increase their mobility, flexibility, and muscle tone and stretch their joints and muscles. It can also ease the pain and prevent contractures. It could include exercises, braces that are specially designed, or other treatments.
CP is caused by musculoskeletal issues such as patella alta and hip dysplasia. Scoliosis and cervical stenosis may also be present. These can cause major issues in mobility, reducing life expectancy.
Other treatments may include speech and language therapies for children who are unable to communicate effectively. This can help children discover new ways of communicating. These may include sign language, communication board or voice synthesizers.
These medications can be used to stop abnormal movements, ease the pain, and manage seizures. The medications are administered by mouth or injected into affected muscles or into the fluid surrounding the spinal cord.
Compensation
A successful cerebral palsy claim can result in compensation for your child to pay for special care, equipment and treatment. This will be determined by the psychological and physical impact that your child's condition has caused on them, in addition to any expenses and losses you've had to pay. This could include lost earnings due to you having to stop working to take care of your children, home adaptations and transport expenses.
Based on the extent of your child's injury the lawyer might recommend hiring an expert in disability care to develop a "lifecare plan' that defines their needs from the date of their diagnosis until adulthood. This can help you determine an accurate amount of compensation. This usually takes the form of a lump-sum and recurring annual payments that can be adjusted to keep up with inflation.
You should be aware that the amount of compensation you receive from a legal action isn't a gimmick. It is a recognition of the injustice that occurred due to the fact that the medical professional failed to meet their duty of care during labour, pregnancy and delivery.
