Cerebral palsy claims & compensation in Teesside | Middlesbrough & Redcar

We recognise how truly devastating it can be when a pregnancy doesn’t go as expected. It can be life-altering, and you may feel uncertain about the next steps in providing for your child.

Our solicitors have extensive experience in supporting families with children who have developed cerebral palsy, and we are here to assist you.

What is cerebral palsy?

The NHS describes cerebral palsy as being the name for a group of lifelong conditions that affect movement and co-ordination. It is caused by a problem with the brain that develops before, during or soon after birth.

Medical negligence resulting in a cerebral palsy diagnosis and the right to compensation

We should all appreciate healthcare workers who safeguard our health and wellbeing. However, there are times when clinical negligence occurs, leaving both mother and baby to face the consequences.

When this happens, the parent or guardian has the right to seek compensation on behalf of their child, with the aim to improve that child’s quality of life.

Choose the right cerebral palsy solicitor for you and your family

Cerebral palsy claims are usually lengthy and highly complex, so it is essential to choose a solicitor with genuine expertise in this field. A solicitor experienced in handling cerebral palsy cases can guide you through the legal process and provide the necessary support to achieve the best possible outcome for your child.

Our cerebral palsy solicitors can help you seek compensation for:

• Compensation that reflects the pain and suffering resulting from medical negligence.
• Home adaptations to improve accessibility, suitable transportation, and assistive technologies to support daily living activities.
• Lifelong care, including access to speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, education, physiotherapy, and other essential services.
• Compensation for loss of future earnings.
• Emotional and psychological support for both the child and their family to help cope with the long-term impact of cerebral palsy.
