What does it mean if my child was born with cerebral palsy? How did this happen?
Many women wonder what they could have done differently during pregnancy if their child was born with a medical problem. When a baby is diagnosed with cerebral palsy, it means there was some kind of damage done to their brain before, during, or after birth. If you were regularly seen by a medical professional during pregnancy and went to a hospital to give birth, this kind of damage was something that could have been prevented. Contact our birth injury lawyer Grants Pass, OR relies on for more information about starting your claim.
How can my child’s cerebral palsy get diagnosed?
Most parents are very anxious for their children to meet their milestones. If you notice early on that your child is not meeting these milestones, it is a good idea to take them to a doctor to begin running tests. These tests will be very helpful when it comes to gathering evidence for our claim. Your child’s doctor will look at the results of your child’s test and compare them to typical delays that occur with cerebral palsy.

Personal Injury Lawyers in Oregon
Experienced. Focused. Service.
We are here because we have a passion for correcting injustice and helping injured people be treated fairly after the losses they have suffered. Insurance companies take advantage of people in almost every case, and we are here to help.
We’re with you every step of the way, from the moment we accept your case until it’s finally resolved. Your case may be settled through “informal negotiations,” “mediation,” “arbitration,” or possibly even a “jury trial“. Regardless of which process is used, you will always be the one to decide whether to accept or reject an offer to settle. We’ll help you understand your options at each point of decision, so that you can decide what is right for you. If the insurance company agrees to pay a fair amount, an out-of-court settlement is the best option. But if the insurance company won’t deal fairly, we are fully able and willing to take your case to court.raphy
