Experienced Ohio Birth Injury Attorneys
The term 'cerebral palsy' is used to refer to a group of disorders typically related to an individual's inability to control motor function. Typically, cerebral palsy is categorized into four types: spastic cerebral palsy, athetoid or dyskinetic cerebral palsy, ataxic cerebral palsy or mixed forms of cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy may be caused by medical errors during pregnancy or delivery, many of which are avoidable.
