Maryland Brain Damage Attorney
Cerebral palsy affects newborns who suffered fetal distress such as the cutoff of oxygen through the umbilical cord in the womb or birth canal during the birth process. Cerebral palsy is not specifically one disorder. It is a complexity of chronic conditions that impair a baby's ability to move and maintain muscle control during the earliest years of life, often having a lifelong effect on victims.
While not all birth injury cases of cerebral palsy are the result of doctor error or improper monitoring during the birth process, there are common steps that doctors and delivery room staff are expected to take to reduce or eliminate risks that may lead to the condition. If a medical professional fails to recognize the monitor readings of the baby's vital signs or fails to act effectively to restore oxygen to the baby's brain, there may be a case for medical negligence.
