Located in Boston, medical malpractice attorney, Doctor Barry Lang, has the credentials you want for your case involving cerebral palsy and medical malpractice. With a medical and law background, Dr. Lang may have answers for the questions you are asking yourself:
Could cerebral palsy or Erb's palsy have been avoided?
In some pregnancies, cerebral palsy can not be avoided; in other cases it may be avoided with proper monitoring, both of the fetus and the mother. The fetus should be monitored for a changing or falling heart rate, which is a sign of fetal distress. Monitoring contractions is also a way to determine fetal distress. If fetal distress is detected, the baby needs oxygen, and often times an emergency C-section should be performed.
Another cause of cerebral palsy is the over sedation (medication error) of the mother. Cerebral palsy is most common in multiple pregnancies (e.g., twins), older mothers (over 35), and placental problems. All these situations should be an indication that close monitoring is required.
If you have a baby with cerebral palsy, you should contact Dr. Lang for assistance in determining whether the birthing injury could have been prevented, and if so, we can discuss how to go about obtaining the extra compensation you need for your child.
