When medical malpractice causes disabilities in local children, Cheyenne cerebral palsy lawyers work with the families to get justice. They specialize in medical malpractice, understand birth injuries, and provide the best opportunity for parents to recover damages for their children.

When Medical Malpractice Leads to Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is the most common disability that affects muscles and movement. Caused by brain damage, it results in lifelong disabilities and associated conditions to varying degrees. Treatments are available, but there is no cure, and many children with cerebral palsy need lifelong care.

There are many possible causes of brain damage that leads to cerebral palsy: maternal infections during pregnancy, newborn jaundice, skull fractures during delivery, and complications that lead to loss of oxygen to the fetus or during delivery.

In some cases, these causes are impossible to foresee or better handle by a doctor. In other situations, the damage results from negligence. A medical professional provided inadequate or substandard care that led to brain damage and disabilities.

Do I Need a Cheyenne Cerebral Palsy Lawyer?

It’s nearly impossible for parents to know for sure if negligence or malpractice caused their child’s condition. Medical malpractice is complicated, and it’s not always clear what went wrong during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, especially to a non-medical expert.

This is why new parents must talk to a lawyer if they have any doubts about what happened to their baby. A cerebral palsy lawyer is an expert in this area of the law and has medical experts in their network. Together, they can review the situation and determine if malpractice likely played a role.

If your child has a diagnosis of cerebral palsy and you wonder if they suffered from a preventable birth injury, you need a lawyer. You might want to file a lawsuit, which a lawyer can do on your behalf. They can also give you the best chance of recovering damages, the compensation that will allow you to give your child the best care.

How to Find a Cheyenne Cerebral Palsy Lawyer

Medical malpractice is complicated, so you need a lawyer with experience handling these kinds of cases. Cheyenne is a small city, but you should be able to find firms that work on malpractice cases and with clients like you and your child.

Use the opportunity of a free initial consultation to ask questions, interview lawyers, learn about your legal options and decide which lawyer is best to represent you. Look for someone with the relevant experience and proven wins.

They should also be able to show you that they have enough reach and adequate resources to take on your case, which could take months to years to complete. If they request a fee upfront, they don’t have enough money to investigate and build a strong case. Only work with lawyers who offer contingency payment.

Getting Treatment and Support for Cerebral Palsy in Cheyenne

Your child needs early interventions and specialist treatment for the best outcomes. They will also need lifetime support and resources. Cheyenne area hospitals and organizations can provide both.

Cheyenne Children’s Clinic

The Cheyenne Children’s Clinic is part of the Cheyenne Regional Medical Center and the leading source of pediatric specialists in the area. Departments of orthopedics, surgery, neurosurgery, physical rehabilitation, behavioral health, speech and language pathology, and other specialties collaborate to treat children with cerebral palsy.[1]
