Cerebral Palsy Attorney – Akron & Canton, Ohio

If your child suffered an injury at birth and has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, it can be overwhelming, especially if you had a normal pregnancy and were expecting a normal delivery.

The signs of Cerebral Palsy can be quite subtle at first and may include:

Delayed milestones

A persistence of infantile reflexes that in children without cerebral palsy would normally disappear within 3-6 months after birth

The development of handedness prior to 18 months (may indicate a weakness on one side of the brain)

Even after the initial diagnosis, Cerebral Palsy symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include:

Abnormal muscle tone or movements
Skeletal deformities, usually on one side of the body
Stiffening of the joints
Mental retardation
Seizures
Speech and swallowing problems
Hearing or vision loss

The emotional and financial costs associated with raising a child with Cerebral Palsy can be challenging. If you believe your child’s Cerebral Palsy is related to a birth injury or an improper delivery, you may have a claim. It’s important to consult a cerebral palsy attorney immediately to investigate the matter, as there are strict time limitations for pursuing these types of cases.
