Cerebral Palsy and Birth Injuries – What You Should Know From a Georgia Medical Malpractice Attorney
Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects hundreds of thousands of children throughout the United States. It can develop before, during, or after birth, depending on the circumstances of the pregnancy and delivery of the child. This condition is unique to every single child, as the way in which cerebral palsy develops is different. In some instances, a genetic mutation can be blamed for contributing to the development of cerebral palsy. In other instances, cerebral palsy may be caused by an injury sustained at birth. In such cases, it is important to investigate to what extent a child may have suffered an injury at birth.
