Causes And Outcomes Of Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)

At Gluckstein Personal Injury lawyers, we are privileged to be consulted by parents of children with neurological disabilities. Many of these children have been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, also called CP.

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is the most common motor function disability of childhood. Caused by abnormal development or damage to a developing brain, it is estimated that about one in 350 to one in 500 children will be diagnosed with this disorder.

While some cases of cerebral palsy are unavoidable, it is possible that a medical provider's negligent actions or perhaps inaction either cause or contribute to a child's brain injury, resulting in the development of CP.
