Ask Marvin Lundy About Birth Injury: Cerebral Palsy
Nothing can prepare you for the shock of learning that your baby has a disability. In an instant, your life, your relationships and the dreams of your child’s future can be shattered. Now, imagine finding out that the disability was caused by your doctor’s negligence. Yet, this happens thousands of times every year – through the misuse of medical equipment, the prescription of a harmful drug, misdiagnosis or rough handling of an infant during childbirth. One of the most devastating of these disabilities is Cerebral Palsy (CP), a neurological disorder that permanently affects movement and muscle coordination. More than 8,000 babies are diagnosed with CP every year, requiring lifelong therapy and treatment.
