CEREBRAL PALSY INFORMATION
 Cerebral Palsy is a chronic condition affecting muscle coordination and body movement. Cerebral Palsy is usually caused by oxygen deprivation and trauma to the head during labor and delivery.
A medical malpractice risk factor is a variable which may increase the chance of developing a medical condition. The presence of a risk factor does not mean that the condition will occur, nor does the absence of a risk factor mean that the condition will not occur. There are risk factors relating to cerebral palsy and if present then care should be taken by medical professionals to ensure that they are ready to deal with any eventuality.
The delivery of a child can be a complex and difficult matter especially if there are complications. If an obvious risk of cerebral palsy becomes apparent then failure to take adequate precautions at an early stage may mean that they are liable to pay damages for any injury caused to an unborn child as a result of negligence.
