Massachusetts Cerebral Palsy Attorneys, Personal Injury Lawyers – Gilman Law LLP

Cerebral Palsy can occur if there are complications during labor and delivery and there are prolonged periods of oxygen deprivation to the baby’s brain. If an abnormal fetal heart pattern develops, the doctors, midwives and nurses must act quickly to ensure that the baby does not suffer from a lack of oxygen. They must take immediate measures to relieve the stress. If the abnormal heart rate continues, an emergency cesearan section would need to be performed to deliver the baby immediately to avoid any injury to the baby’s brain.

If your infant suffers from cerebral palsy and you believe it was the cause of medical negligence by your doctor, midwife or nurse from either mismanaged labor or inappropriate methods during delivery, the Cerebral palsy lawyers at Gilman Law LLP can help. Birth injuries have time limitations which vary drastically in each state. Therefore, it is best to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer to discuss your specific case. The Massachusetts Cerebral Palsy lawyers will be your child’s best advocate and determine whether your infant suffered cerebral palsy as a result of substandard care by a healthcare provider.
