Are You Entitled to Cerebral Palsy Compensation?

Cerebral palsy can have a profound impact on both children and their families. Living with the condition often requires lifelong support, including specialised therapy, equipment, and care in order to help individuals lead fulfilling lives and reach their full potential. The financial burden of these needs is almost always challenging, which is especially upsetting if you believe medical negligence was a contributing factor.

Our birth injury team specialise in supporting families pursuing cerebral palsy compensation claims for negligent treatment by doctors or midwives. We will guide you through the legal process, ensuring you have the answers you need to understand what went wrong. Our team is committed to recovering the compensation your child deserves, even in cases where the claim is initially contested.

“We can now move forward as a family with peace of mind, knowing our son will be cared for and supported throughout his life.”

“Securing substantial damages means our grandson can receive specialist care at home, improving his quality of life while ensuring his siblings receivethe attention they deserve.”

“I am truly humbled and grateful for everything CL Medilaw have done to give our daughter the best life and future imaginable. I cant thank you enough.”

“There were several initiatives implemented by CL Medilaw that benefited Charlie including a donation to his Tree of Hope Fund.”

Cerebral Palsy Claim FAQs

Cerebral palsy is a type of motor disorder that happens as a result of a brain injury and can occur during pregnancy, childbirth, or shortly after birth. It can result from medical negligence or malpractice, such as a failure to properly monitor the baby’s vital signs, delays in delivery, or improper use of medical equipment during the delivery process.

Parents or legal guardians of a child who has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a result of medical negligence or malpractice may be able to make a claim on behalf of the child. The claim may seek compensation for medical expenses, ongoing care and treatment, pain and suffering, and other expenses related to the child’s condition.

All brain injury claims are different and this depends upon when a final prognosis is known and a claim can be valued.

Once we obtain an admission of liability in your case we can request an immediate payment to help with your needs and put support in place.

Brain injury claims due to medical negligence rarely go to court, with only a small percentage of the more complex cases ending up there. However, in the unlikely event that your case reaches court, we will be by your side throughout the process.

It is important to pursue your brain injury claim as quickly as possible due to time limits and to also enable us to help you obtain compensation as soon as possible. This is especially the case in complex cases as the process can be lengthy.

You have to start your claim within 3-years (limitation period) from when the injury occurred or when you first became aware of any potential negligence or injury as a result. However, the time limit only begins when a child reaches 18 years of age.

For someone who lacks capacity to pursue any litigation, the 3-year time period may never start to run although capacity can return or be intermittent.

You should always seek legal advice upon the relevant limitation period in your circumstances.

We can provide a second opinion free of charge. We have acted for many clients who have been told they don’t have a case, but by looking at the claim in a different way and with our expertise, we have gone on to be successful.
