Cerebral palsy is divided into three major classifications to describe the different movement impairments. These classifications reflect the area of brain damaged.
- Spastic Cerebral Palsy (stiff and difficult movement)
- Athetoid Cerebral Palsy (involuntary and uncontrolled movement)
- Ataxic Cerebral Palsy (disturbed sense of balance and depth perception)
Several medical mistakes may have caused your child's cerebral palsy. Your physician may have administered too much pitocin, forceps may have been improperly used, a vacuum extractor could have been overused, or negligence on the part of a nurse or hospital staff member may have contributed.
The only way to thoroughly investigate a possible link between medical malpractice and cerebral palsy is to consult with an attorney experienced in handling these claims. Contact our Newington law office today for a thorough evaluation and free consult.
