Cerebral Palsy

Our lawyers in San Antonio serve childbirth victims

Cerebral palsy in newborns can occur naturally. The condition results from a lack of blood flow to the brain during delivery, starving the brain of oxygen. However, a doctor's actions during the delivery can contribute to or even create this situation.

If your infant is suffering from cerebral palsy due to a medical professional's negligence, it's important to speak with an experienced attorney. At the Herrera Law Firm, we put our experience and resources to work for clients. Call 1-800-455-1054 for a free consultation. With a compassionate and focused lawyer on your side, you can start your way on your path to justice.

A doctor may be negligent if any of the following conditions existed during childbirth:

  • Not promptly recognizing or resolving complications with the umbilical cord (for instance, when it is around the baby's neck in utero)
  • Inappropriate use of vacuum extractor
  • Inappropriate use of forceps to speed delivery

Symptoms of cerebral palsy

Recognizing the signs of cerebral palsy in a newborn is complicated. Be sure you have a credible medical opinion before you arrive at your own conclusions. Cerebral palsy symptoms in newborns can range in severity and type.

Cerebral palsy symptoms may include:

  • Facial ticks
  • Muscle spasms
  • Under-developed fine motor control
  • Posture problems

We understand how difficult medical malpractice cases can be for Texas families. We maintain confidentiality and use discretion throughout a birth defect and injury case and typically negotiate with insurance companies, not doctors.
