Cerebral Palsy
At The Albenze Firm, we understand the profound impact that cerebral palsy (CP) can have on a child and their family. If your child has been diagnosed with CP and you believe their injury occurred due to medical negligence, we are here to help. We specialize in representing Ohio families seeking compensation for the lifelong challenges and expenses associated with CP.
Understanding Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that affects a child's movement and coordination. It is typically caused by brain damage that occurs during birth or early childhood. The severity of CP varies greatly, ranging from mild impairments to severe disabilities. Common symptoms include muscle stiffness, involuntary movements, difficulty with motor skills, and speech difficulties.
Important Note: It's crucial to remember that CP is a complex condition, and establishing causation – that is, proving that negligence caused your child’s CP – is often the most challenging aspect of a legal claim.
Possible Causes of Cerebral Palsy – Negligence in Ohio
At The Albenze Firm, we investigate potential negligence that may have contributed to your child’s CP. Common areas we explore include:
