Holding Doctors Accountable for Cerebral Palsy Birth Injury Occurrences

Cerebral palsy medical malpractice cases often occur during delivery as a result of any of the following:

• Oxygen deprivation
• Brain damage from forceps
• Birth canal complications

A cerebral palsy birth injury permanently affects body movement and muscle coordination but does not worsen over time. Most often, the condition results in a lack of coordination, and there are related brain injuries that involve mental disability. While there is currently no cure, there are treatments available, including physical therapy, speech therapy, drug treatment to help children develop and lead a productive life.

Glenn L. Goodhart is not only a lawyer with over 10 years of medical malpractice experience, he is also a practicing physician who can dissect medical records thoroughly to prove medical negligence has occurred. He is familiar with how costly it is to raise a child who has a cerebral palsy birth injury. This includes all the necessary lifelong treatments the child may need as well as how this injury will limit his or her ability to work. He will document this proof through medical reports and experts when needed to prove your need for fair and just compensation.
