Every year, some 10,000 babies born in the United States develop cerebral palsy, a permanent and irreversible crippling condition affecting the central nervous system. And according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes, the average lifetime out-of-pocket costs associated with cerebral palsy is $921,000 (in 2003 dollars).
There are many ways in which the negligence of a hospital delivery team can cause cerebral palsy during the birth process. Given the complexity of the medical issues involved, and the enormous costs associated with long-term care, you must consult with
an attorney well versed in this tragic area of the law. You would be hard-pressed to find a firm as capable as Hensley│Chalfant to handle your case.
