Damages and Costs

Cerebral Palsy is a long-lasting condition that affects almost every aspect of a person's life. When medical malpractice is the cause of CP, the family may be entitled to compensation. The amount of damages incurred is determined by the extent of the injury and the number of parties responsible for the injuries.

The majority of cerebral palsy cases settle outside of court. In a settlement agreement both the victim (plaintiff) and the negligent medical professional defendant (defendant) and the defendant agree to settle their case for a price that is agreeable to both parties. If the two parties are unable to come to an agreement, then the case will be heard. A judge and jury will decide what money the plaintiff is due and will decide on the amount based on their verdict.

It is crucial to remember that your attorney is on your side to ensure you receive the biggest payout you can possibly get. A seasoned lawyer will be able to present convincing evidence of your child's lifelong expenses, ensuring that the other party gives an appropriate settlement amount.

The more information that your lawyer has, the more they can maximize the settlement. Here are a few examples of massive CP settlements and verdicts.

Medical Costs

A cerebral palsy settlement may help pay for medical equipment and treatments. It can also cover the cost of caregivers, specialists, and other services your child needs to live a happy, full life. This includes the costs of medications, special diets and physical therapy.

These expenses can be very expensive and your family shouldn't have to shoulder them on their own. Your CP lawyer can help you secure the compensation necessary to cover these expenses and more.

In many cases, medical mistakes are the root of brain injury that can lead to CP. In civil lawsuits doctors, nurses and other medical professionals may be held accountable for their mistakes.

A woman who is in her 25th week of pregnancy comes to the emergency room with extreme pain and low fetal hearts rates. Obstetricians discharge her but she reappear as the symptoms become worse. Doctors eventually discover she is in labor, but do not perform C-sections. The baby is born with heplegic brain palsy and a seizure condition and requires around-the-clock treatment. Parents sue doctors and the hospital for medical negligence and settle for $103,075,618.

You could be eligible for a substantial settlement, regardless what type of CP. Your family can handle the costs using the amount you receive.

Suffering and Pain

Cerebral palsy is a permanent condition that impacts a person's posture and balance, and restricts movement. It's caused by disturbances in the brain during the development of the fetus or infancy. It's not able to be reversed. These disturbances may be caused by infections and abnormalities of the umbilical cord, uterus, placenta, issues with blood flow, or genetic disorders.

People with CP suffer from a decreased quality of life. The degree of the symptoms vary however they all impact their ability to move, walk, communicate, and perform everyday activities. They also suffer from pain and discomfort. Many people have trouble coping with their condition and struggle to get the proper treatment they need.

Adults who suffer from CP have more frequent pain than the general population and at higher intensity. It can hinder daily activities and can cause mental stress and depression. It's estimated that over 1/3 of those suffering from CP report moderate to severe pain.

An experienced CP attorney can defend the rights of your child and ensure you get a settlement which covers all costs and damages. Even if the birth injury occurred many years ago, the case could be successfully tried to trial, or settle for an agreement you think is acceptable. Your legal team may use your medical records, witness testimony school records, and any other evidence to support your CP injury case.

Lifelong Costs

A cerebral palsy settlement is a financial arrangement between the person who suffered the injury and a negligent health care provider to settle a case outside of court. To avoid a court trial, attorneys for both sides will attempt to reach an agreement over the amount of money. If the two sides are unable to agree or a settlement, the case will be brought to the court to be ruled on by a judge or jury.

Your lawyer will assist you to create a strong case for your family by gathering evidence of the injuries that your child sustained and the doctor's actions before and after birth caused that injury.
