March is Cerebral Palsy Awareness month, which is dedicated to the 17 million people diagnosed with cerebral palsy around the world.
Cerebral palsy is the name for a group of lifelong conditions that affect movement and co-ordination, caused by a problem with the brain that occurs before, during or soon after birth. Cerebral palsy can occur if a baby’s brain doesn’t develop normally while in the womb, or is damaged during or soon after birth.
Here at Girlings Personal Injury Claims Solicitors, our sensitive team of medical negligence specialists have dealt with numerous claims involving injuries to both mother and baby, including Cerebral Palsy claims.
Cerebral Palsy claims in particular require very specialist input due to the complex medical evidence required. We work with a bank of medical experts who are able to assist, including obstetricians, paediatricians, neurologists and neuro-radiologists. If a medical negligence claim is established, we can help you recover compensation to cover the cost of suitable accommodation, aids and equipment, care and treatment to ensure an improved quality of life.
