CEREBRAL PALSY COMPENSATION CLAIM * SUE FOR MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE

Cerebral palsy compensation claim * sue for medical negligence * brain damage and other injuries caused through medical negligence by your doctor or the NHS

Cerebral palsy is a form of brain damage for which there is no known cure. It is generally caused by a baby being deprived of oxygen at some point during their birth.

In some medical cases, this temporary oxygen starvation can be attributed to an error on the part of the medical staff involved in the birth. If this is the case, then there is a probability for a claim for compensation.

Cerebral palsy is a devastating condition and can have a serious impact on the quality of life of both the sufferer and their family. People with cerebral palsy often require constant and ongoing care - something which is beyond the emotional and financial resources of most parents.

SUE FOR MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE

That's where our solicitors come in. If your child has been born with cerebral palsy and it can be proved that this was as a result of medical negligence on the part of the hospital staff overseeing the birth, then our experienced solicitors can help you make a claim for compensation on behalf of your child.

Compensation for cerebral palsy resulting from medical negligence consists of an amount for the pain and suffering experienced by your child and also a sum of money to cover the ongoing costs of carers, special disability equipment, modifications to your home, etc.

Whilst none of this can reverse your child's condition, it can at least help to make situation more tolerable, both emotionally and financially.

CEREBRAL PALSY COMPENSATION CLAIM

If you are claiming compensation for cerebral palsy on behalf of a child, you can make a claim any time up to three years after the child's eighteenth birthday. However, the sooner you start the claim, the better - as evidence is generally more readily available and if you are going to be awarded compensation then the sooner you get it the sooner you can start putting it to good use on behalf of your child.
