Medical Negligence in Cerebral Palsy Cases<\/h2>\n
To prove that a doctor or other medical provider was negligent in your case and that you are entitled to damages, your lawyer must prove that there was a duty of care that was breached that caused you or your child harm. The duty of care arises when a doctor treats a patient, and it means that the doctor is required to treat you as a reasonable doctor would under the circumstances. The care should be roughly equal to what you would receive if you went to another doctor near you. A medical professional breaches the duty of care by either failing to act in a reasonable way or by acting in a way that causes harm.<\/p>\n
In a cerebral palsy case, this could result from failing to correctly monitor labor and delivery to aggressively using tools such as vacuums or forceps to assist in the delivery. Finally, the breach of care must have caused the person in question to have an injury that can be compensated. In this type of case, if your child suffers an injury in the form of cerebral palsy, you may be entitled to recover on their behalf for a variety of expenses and pain and suffering.<\/p>\n
A doctor or medical professional can be medically negligent in relation to the following activities, among others:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Failing to treat the infection<\/li>\n
- Incorrectly assessing the position of the fetus prior to delivery<\/li>\n
- Failing to notice or interpret warning signs related to fetal heart monitoring<\/li>\n
- Failing to assist a newborn with breathing problems<\/li>\n
- Using equipment such as forceps or a vacuum extractor improperly<\/li>\n
- Failing to perform a Cesarean section at the appropriate time<\/li>\n
- Failing to treat jaundice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
There could be other causes for your child\u2019s cerebral palsy injury. We will help you get to the root of your child\u2019s condition to determine whether you are entitled to compensation.<\/p>\n
Compensation Available for Cerebral Palsy Injury<\/h2>\n
In a successful case where your lawyer proves that your doctor or another medical professional was negligent, your recovery could include the following types of payments:<\/p>\n
\n- Reimbursement for medical expenses<\/b> – This could include visiting the doctor, testing, medication, physical therapy, device costs, and surgery, if necessary.<\/li>\n
- Lost income<\/b> – Losing wages or having a reduced salary to take care of a child with cerebral palsy can be a recoverable expense. Lost earning capacity of the child may also be recoverable.<\/li>\n
- Pain and suffering<\/b> – The suffering your child has endured may also be included in the compensation to which you are entitled. This includes physical pain and mental anguish caused by the injury.<\/li>\n
- Loss of quality of life<\/b> – The type of injury your child has suffered means that your child will probably have a lower quality of life compared to what would have been without the injury.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Make sure to keep track of all medical records and employment information so that we can help you make the best case for recovering compensation.<\/p>\n
