The Laws and Facts of Medical Malpractice Cerebral Palsy Cases


If your child has cerebral palsy, then you probably want to know why. What exactly is cerebral palsy, and could my child’s condition have been prevented? Cerebral palsy is a very broad term. It typically involves children who have a congenital brain malformation, which occurs when something goes wrong in the formation of the DNA of the brain. An MRI of the brain can tell medical experts the likely cause. It can be caused by avoidable mistakes, such as low oxygen in the brain during childbirth as a result of bad decisions at the hospital.

We have seen cases where the medical records indicate a healthy baby only an hour before birth, but then unheeded warning signs lead to the birth of a handicapped baby. Many cases of cerebral palsy are not the result of medical negligence, but if you think you have a case and would like more information, then please call Donahoe Kearney at 202-393-3320.

    I had a great experience working with Donahoe Kearney. Frank, Paul, and Grace did an excellent job helping me reach a settlement and made the whole process much easier to deal with.

    I worked with Paul a lot throughout the case, and he was always professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with. What I appreciated most was how he kept everything short, clear, and straight to the point. He explained things in a way that was easy to understand and kept me informed every step of the way.

    Thanks to his hard work and guidance, we were able to reach a good settlement. I would definitely recommend Frank and Paul to anyone looking for a lawyer. They are knowledgeable, efficient, and truly work for their clients. Make sure you read the awesome newsletters they are great! Thank you!
