What is cerebral palsy?
Cerebral palsy is characterized by a lack of control over muscle movements due to abnormalities in the brain. There are several types of cerebral palsy. Most people with cerebral palsy are born with it, and its early signs usually surface before a child reaches three years of age. There are several common indications that your child has cerebral palsy:
- Lack of muscle coordination for voluntary movements (ataxia)
- Stiff or tight muscles and spastic movements
- Dragging leg or foot while walking
- Walking on toes
- Abnormal gait
Cerebral palsy may be caused by inattentive care or errors of medical physicians during childbirth. Some possible reasons could include a failure to carry out a cesarean section during a complicated delivery or excessive use of a vacuum extraction. If you believe that a medical physician is responsible for your child having suffered a birth injury, do not hesitate to contact us about Ohio cerebral palsy litigation. Attorneys at Anderson Law Offices dedicate themselves to obtaining the compensation that you deserve, so that your child can receive all of the necessary treatment and care for living a better life.
