About Cerebral Palsy
Although it is often referred to as one condition, cerebral palsy is actually an umbrella term for several different but closely related disorders. All of them involve damage to the brain, most often affecting the neurons that allow the cerebral cortex to communicate with the cerebellum. The cortex is the center of thought and memory, while the cerebellum controls balance and muscle coordination.
It is often difficult to determine the cause of an individual case of cerebral palsy. This is because it can be caused by so many different things, including:
- Pre-term birth
- Lack of oxygen for the child during a difficult birth
- Brain injuries caused by negligent OB-GYN workers
- Infection during pregnancy or shortly after birth
- The mother's alcohol or drug use during pregnancy
If your child has been injured by medical negligence or another party's behavior, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, work you have missed, and more. Our Tampa cerebral palsy attorneys can provide further information.
