Do You Have a
Cerebral Palsy Case?

If a child’s cerebral palsy was caused by a birth injury, their family may be eligible for compensation to cover care, treatment, assistive technology, and other important resources. Unfortunately, a number of families avoid medical malpractice litigation for different reasons—some fear confrontation, some feel they don’t have the financial resources, some simply feel overwhelmed, and others doubt they have a case. The best—and only—way to find out if you have a cerebral palsy case is to reach out to an attorney for a legal consultation. An experienced cerebral palsy attorney will do a thorough investigation of the medical records and review the case with expert medical professionals to determine whether negligent care was the cause of a child’s cerebral palsy. These case evaluations are free of charge. For that matter, if you pursue a case with ABC Law Centers: Birth Injury Lawyers, you pay nothing throughout the entire legal process unless we win.
