Cleveland Birth Injury Attorney for Ohio Medical Malpractice Claims
When a cerebral palsy diagnosis is made, many parents wonder: was medical malpractice to blame? Sadly, medical malpractice has caused thousands of cerebral palsy cases. Doctors' mistakes are often to blame for CP and other birth injuries.
At Lancione & Lancione, PLL, we handle birth injury cases related to many different types of medical errors, including the ones listed below:
- Failure to plan a cesarean section in a high-risk pregnancy
- Failure to perform a cesarean section in a timely manner
- Allowing the child to remain too long in the birth canal, leading to oxygen deprivation
- Undetected or untreated umbilical cord prolapse
- Vacuum extraction or forceps errors leading to head injury
- Failure to diagnose or treat seizures post-delivery
- Failure to diagnose and treat jaundice, leading to Kernicterus
- Failure to diagnose and treat bacterial meningitis
- Other brain damage or brain infections
Medical errors leading to cerebral palsy can occur during pregnancy, labor and birth. They can also occur immediately following the birth. They happen when doctors fail to provide the proper medical care that other, similar doctors would provide in similar situations. This can be due to inaction, by failing to prevent an injury, or by action: making a mistake that causes harm.
