Did you know that in the United States more than 5,000 children are diagnosed with cerebral palsy every year? Indeed, it is one of the most common birth injuries documented in this country. Cerebral palsy is a debilitating condition that is caused when a baby is deprived of oxygen to the extent that he or she suffers brain damage. The extent of the child’s disability can range from mild to severe depending on the amount of time the brain was without oxygen and the area of the brain to which the damage occurred. Tragically, many cases of cerebral palsy are attributable to negligence on the part of a medical professional, who either provided substandard prenatal care or who made significant and avoidable errors during the delivery of the baby. If you suspect that your child’s cerebral palsy is the result of medical malpractice, do not hesitate to contact the Manhattan cerebral palsy attorneys at the firm of Toberoff, Tessler & Schochet. Based in New York City, our cerebral palsy lawyers have successfully litigated on behalf of families from Brooklyn and all of the boroughs, and may be able to help bring the individuals responsible for your child’s disability to justice.
There are four types of cerebral palsy: spastic, ataxic, athetoid, and mixed cerebral palsy, which describes patients who suffer from symptoms of more than one type of the disorder. Each type of cerebral palsy has its own particular characteristics, but there are some characteristics common to all types. Individuals who suffer from cerebral palsy can suffer from reduced muscle control, which may cause them to move spastically or in a jerky manner, have trouble grasping objects, and limit their mobility and ability to walk. Diminished muscle control also affects the facial expressions of people with cerebral palsy; they may have facial twitches, or have trouble speaking or eating. Children with cerebral palsy may also suffer from mild to severe mental retardation, diminished balance, and impaired depth perception. If you would like to learn more about the symptoms associated with cerebral palsy, or would like help determining whether your child’s cerebral palsy was the result of a medical error, contact the lawyers at Toberoff, Tessler & Schochet. At our Manhattan firm, our cerebral palsy attorneys have successfully represented the rights of families affected by this disorder in Brooklyn and the greater New York City area.
