Chicago Cerebral Palsy, Birth Injury Lawyer

One of the most devastating experiences that can happen to a child is to suffer from cerebral palsy. There is no cure for cerebral palsy, although a child's condition can improve with treatment. While some children develop cerebral palsy naturally, there are cases where cerebral palsy is directly caused by the medical error of the physician or another delivery team member during the birth process. When this happens, the physician or other medical provider needs to be held accountable for the errors that led to this heartbreaking injury.

Birth injury occurs due to a mistake before or after delivery or miss handling the situation by medical professionals. We understand the complexity of birth injury cases and have the right resources, tools to help you get justice. If you think that medical negligence contributed to your child's cerebral palsy disease, take a moment to get in touch with our experienced cerebral palsy attorney. We can help you get the right financial compensation for your child's birth injury

The Law Offices of Steven E. Malman & Associates, P.C. in Chicago, Illinois is committed to the legal rights of your injured child, and we will do everything in our power to aggressively pursue the compensation he or she needs to cover the ongoing costs of proper treatment. Our Chicago medical malpractice lawyers are experienced in handling the cerebral palsy injury matters and have served a number of clients who were the victim by medical negligence at birth. We will work hard to collect damages for your child's pain and suffering.

What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy is a permanent condition that affects a child or infant's central nervous system, negatively affecting muscle coordination and movement. This inevitably results in a number of coordination problems, such as ataxia (the inability to perform voluntary movements because of insufficient muscle coordination), spasticity (exaggerated reflexes and tight or stiff muscles), a crouched gait, the dragging of one leg or foot while walking, walking on one's toes, and muscle tone that is too soft or too hard. Symptoms can range from mild to severe.

Proving that a medical error or negligence caused your child's cerebral palsy can be very challenging. At the Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, P.C. our medical malpractice lawyers have the tools, resources, and experience to thoroughly investigate and prove your claim. Our cerebral palsy lawyers’ main goal is that all victims of medical malpractice at birth should be compensated for their injuries.

We have a doctor on staff that has completed law school. We will meet with the medical care providers who helped deliver your child and consult with top experts that can serve as witnesses for your case. Our law firm will exhaust all avenues of recovery so that we can hold the negligent parties liable for the harm that has been done to you, your baby, and your family.

Filing a medical malpractice claim for cerebral palsy is not the kind of case that you should pursue by yourself—especially because medical providers are known for denying that they have made any medical errors. If our personal injury attorneys have to file a lawsuit for you, we will aggressively litigate your case before a jury.

Please view our injury claim results page and see some of the more recent medical malpractice settlements and verdicts that we have won for our clients. The Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, P.C. believes that it is the parents' obligation to pursue a claim against a negligent doctor, nurse, or other medical provider and do whatever they can to get the funds that are necessary for their child to have the best life and care possible. We will work with you to accomplish this for your child and your family.
