Always Be Asking Questions — Be Your Own Advocate

As your legal advocates, there is a lot we can do, but there is also a lot you can do to gain understanding of the reason for cerebral palsy diagnosis. The medical negligence that may have caused your child’s birth injury likely resulted in a lack of oxygen at birth or during pregnancy due to any of the following:

  • Prenatal care negligence such as failure to diagnose and treat infections like rubella (German measles) or toxoplasmosis
  • Neonatal care negligence such as untreated, persistent jaundice or kernicterus following birth
  • Failure to monitor fetal heart strips or react to fetal distress quickly
  • Failure to perform an emergency cesarean section (C-section)
  • Improper use of assisted delivery techniques such as forceps or vacuum-assisted delivery, possibly leading to shoulder dystocia, which can result in cerebral palsy
  • Head trauma during labor and delivery

Infant skulls and brains are extremely fragile. Obstetricians are well-aware of the caution and active monitoring that must be adhered to during all stages of pregnancy, birth and post-birth. Neonatal care is just as important as prenatal care.
