The attorneys at Michigan Cerebral Palsy attorneys pride themselves on their sole focus - helping children with cerebral palsy from birth injury. Other firms that say they handle cerebral palsy and birth injury cases may take a few cases a year among case lists full of auto accidents, dog bite injuries, and medical device malfunctions.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a term that refers to a group of non-progressive motor conditions often caused by brain damage. These disorders are characterized by a loss or impairment of body movement, reflexes, balance, muscle control, muscle coordination, muscle tone, and posture. This neurological disorder often develops as the result of a brain injury inflicted before, during, or after delivery.
Signs of a condition or illness are factors that medical professionals can measure and confirm clinically. For instance, seizures are a common sign of cerebral palsy. Symptoms of a condition are the factors identified by a patient based on personal experience. For example, fatigue or irritability would be considered symptoms of cerebral palsy.
Cerebral palsy may be diagnosed immediately after the infliction of traumatic birth injuries like hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (birth asphyxia) or intracranial hemorrhages, or diagnosis for cerebral palsy may occur later when parents notice their child missing major developmental milestones. Regardless of when parents or medical professionals detect the condition, a diagnosis for cerebral palsy can be devastating.
It is crucial to diagnose cerebral palsy as soon as possible to maximize a child's mobility and potential. Unfortunately, diagnosis is often delayed for a number of reasons-some medical professionals are unable to detect cerebral palsy early on, some physicians choose to wait until the child's brain is fully developed, and sadly, because some medical professionals attempt to conceal instances of medical malpractice.
