Imagine being asleep on a Saturday, and you awake to your 125 lb teenager’s, with severe cerebral palsy, call of, “Mom or Dad, I have to go to the bathroom.” Because, due to cerebral palsy your child needs your assistance to go to the restroom. Your child has a wheel chair, your house has a wheel chair ramp, and your van has a wheel chair lift.
Further, all of the ceiling fans and lights in your home may have hang down pulls so that your child can turn things off and on without your help. When your child goes to school, your child may require a tutor or aid to help transcribe for your child.
Maybe you are thinking that you can handle your child now, because your child is still very young. However, what happens when your child turns 18 years old, and you turn 50, 60, and etc.? How will your child’s special needs be met when you are not around?
And perhaps, at this point you may be thinking it is your fault that your child has cerebral palsy, or that it’s just one of those things that happens, but what if it’s not…?
Let us help you investigate what happened to your child. You and your child deserve to know the truth about what happened at birth, it’s your right. Contact a birth trauma lawyer to get the quality help you need in this hard time.
Some physicians and physician groups, such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) assert that asphyxia rarely causes cerebral palsy, but worldwide studies and animal data show otherwise. Interestingly enough, you can be certain of one thing, no matter what happened during labor and delivery, the doctor and hospital will claim that the events leading to your child’s cerebral palsy could not have been prevented, how convenient for them. Make the call, if only for peace of mind. Call 1800-460-0606 today and contact a cerebral palsy lawyer for help. Unfortunately, time is of the essence to pursuing your legal rights under the law.
