What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy is basically damage to the brain through trauma. It has many potential causes. Some are not preventable, some are. The ones that are preventable typically involve the treatment that's rendered to the mother and the child during the birth process. Leaving the child in the birth canal too long, a forceps delivery, vacuum extraction. Perhaps the failure to perform a cesarean section when the child is too large to pass through the birth canal. I'm Attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

Tom Kiley: Cerebral Palsy typically is not diagnosed until the child is two, perhaps three years of age. What happens is the parents notice that the child is not reaching its normal milestones.

Parents don't always understand that there was trauma during the birth process that may have injured their child. After they see a doctor and find out, they need to see an attorny who's experienced in the area. I'm attorny Tom Kiley.

Can birth injuries be prevented?

Many birth injuries can be prevented. And it goes directly to the level of care that's provided by our physicians and our hospitals, Many times doctors, or people that are in charge of the pre-natal care, for a mother who's expecting a child don't do what they're supposed to do. They don't monitor the mother's blood sugar. They don't determine whether she's diabetic and going to have a large baby that won't fit through the birth canal. These are very important things that have to be done. If a baby's too large and can't fit through the birth canal and a cesarean section is not performed, it's a formula for disaster. And many times will end up with trauma to the child, it can cause death, cerebral palsy, brain damage. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.
