Uncovering the truth about birthing errors. Did you know cerebral palsy can arise from a mismanaged labor or inappropriate methods of delivery that cause lack of oxygen, bleeding, head trauma, or other injury to a newborn child? We actively encourage greater investment in the research of developmental disorders and exploration of treatment options.
While not every child's cerebral palsy is caused by medical negligence (Learn More: Cerebral Palsy Causes), we know the tragedy families endure when a doctor's error results in a birth injury. Families are often overwhelmed by both medical and legal questions.

"After all the information came out, I was bitter. But eventually I put it in my heart to forgive.
It's not about the money, but it helps a lot, because brain injury causes a lot of problems that
you don't know about early on."
"First, you cry. You bawl. You ask yourself, 'why me?' But then I looked at Nathan and I
thought, 'He's exactly the same kid he was before. Now you just know more.'"
"I would tell anyone who's had an experience like ours to keep asking questions.
Don't let them go unanswered. Get a qualified lawyer to look into your case, and don't give up hope."
"The saddest moment came when Ken told us that if Lizzy had been born any time between when I came
in at 7 a.m. until 10 p.m., she would be fine. The doctor had misread the fetal monitoring strips.
She had made a mistake."
