Compassionate Representation For Cerebral Palsy Victims
In most cases, cerebral palsy develops in the womb. However, in some cases children can be affected by the disease for life because of a brain injury during birth.
In some of these cases, doctors missed warning signs and failed to take action that could lessen the chance of children developing the condition. Vincent J. DeSalvo can help your case today.
When doctors, gynecologists and other health care professionals fail to live up to their obligations to you during the birth of your child, the law provides you with options.
At Vincent J. DeSalvo, Attorney at Law, our medical malpractice attorneys in Baton Rouge can help you pursue compensation that you will need for your child’s ongoing care when he or she is suffering from avoidable cerebral palsy.
The Experience You Need To Prove A Difficult Claim
Like other malpractice and birth injury claims, proving that a doctor’s negligence caused your child’s cerebral palsy can be quite difficult. Our firm will conduct a thorough investigation with the help of medical experts, who can determine if warning signs were missed.
If doctors ignored warning signs or failed to take action — such as performing an emergency cesarean section — to make your child’s birth smoother, you may be able to recover compensation for your child’s ongoing needs.
This compensation may include:
- Doctor’s visits and additional surgeries
- Physical and occupational therapy
- Medications
- Making accessibility modifications to your home, such as ramps
Because cerebral palsy will affect your child for life, you can be sure that our lawyers will not settle your case unless it is for an amount of compensation that is fair for you. We stay in constant contact with you so you are aware of your options and the possible effects of your choices.
