Medical negligence
Cerebral palsy
It is a common misconception that cerebral palsy results from natural causes. However, cerebral palsy can be the permanent result of medical negligence. You can make a claim that will provide financial support and professional care for your child now and in the future.
If you, or someone you love have been affected by this condition, please contact our experienced and friendly team to learn more about cerebral palsy compensation claims.
How long do you have to bring a cerebral palsy negligence claim?
If you are making a cerebral palsy medical negligence claim on behalf of your child, you have until their 21st birthday to do so. This may sound like a long time, but if you believe there was anything that could have been avoided during the birthing process, it’s important to act quickly.
If your child is over 21, then the opportunity for cerebral palsy compensation will likely depend on how severe their symptoms are. If their symptoms are so severe that they are unable to make the claim themselves, then there is no time limit.
How much cerebral palsy compensation will be paid?
The amount of compensation available for anyone who suffers from cerebral palsy depends on several variables, not least the severity of the symptoms.
Each case will be judged individually, considering the person’s lifestyle and other requirements.
This could include home adaptations, physiotherapy, personal assistance, or whatever is needed for the person concerned to live a comfortable life with their symptoms.
