What Is Cerebral Palsy and When Is It Caused by Medical Negligence?

Cerebral palsy is an incurable lifelong neurological disorder that affects movement, posture, and coordination, most often caused by abnormal brain development or injury before, during, or shortly after birth. According to the CDC, about 1 in 323 children is diagnosed with cerebral palsy. When the condition results from preventable obstetric or neonatal errors — such as missed fetal distress, delayed cesarean section, improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors, untreated maternal infection, or untreated jaundice — it can support a medical malpractice claim. Cohen, Placitella & Roth has 50 years of experience investigating these claims.

What Are the Most Common Preventable Causes of Cerebral Palsy?

Preventable causes of cerebral palsy frequently fall into five categories: (1) failing to identify a prolapsed or compressed umbilical cord that cuts oxygen to the baby, (2) failing to order a timely cesarean section when fetal distress is documented on the monitoring strip, (3) improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors that produces head, brain, or spinal cord trauma, (4) failing to diagnose and treat maternal or neonatal infection, and (5) failing to treat newborn jaundice that progresses to kernicterus. Each of these is a recognized basis for a birth injury malpractice claim.

Who Can File a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit?

A cerebral palsy lawsuit is generally filed by the parents or legal guardian on behalf of the injured child. The action seeks damages to fund the lifetime medical care, therapy, special education, assistive equipment, and lost earning capacity that the child will require. About 60% of children diagnosed with cerebral palsy can walk independently, more than 40% have epilepsy, and about 7% have an autism spectrum disorder, so the appropriate care plan and damages model varies significantly by case. Cohen, Placitella & Roth retains pediatric neurologists and life-care planners to quantify each child's lifetime needs.

What Compensation Can a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit Recover?

Damages in a cerebral palsy malpractice case are designed to fund the child's lifetime needs and typically include past and future medical expenses, in-home nursing care, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, durable medical equipment, home modifications, special education, lost future earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Many recoveries are substantial because lifetime care costs for a child with severe cerebral palsy can run into the millions of dollars. Cohen, Placitella & Roth uses life-care planners and economists to project these costs in present-day value.

What Evidence Is Needed to Prove a Cerebral Palsy Birth Injury Case?

The core evidence in a cerebral palsy birth injury case includes the complete prenatal records, the labor and delivery records, the fetal heart-rate monitoring strips, neonatal records (Apgar scores, cord blood gases, NICU notes), and pediatric records documenting the child's diagnosis and developmental progress. Expert review by an obstetrician, a pediatric neurologist, and often a neuroradiologist is essential to connect the alleged negligence to the resulting brain injury. Cohen, Placitella & Roth secures these records and engages experts at the start of every case.

Q: What Is the Statute of Limitations for a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania imposes a two-year statute of limitations on medical malpractice claims under 42 Pa. C.S. § 5524. Critically, the limitations period for a minor is tolled until the child's 18th birthday under 42 Pa. C.S. § 5533(b), so a child injured at birth generally has until age 20 to file. However, the parents' independent claim for medical expenses incurred during the child's minority is not tolled and should be filed within two years of discovery. Cohen, Placitella & Roth recommends contacting (888) 572-7388 as soon as cerebral palsy is diagnosed to preserve evidence.

Q: What Is the Statute of Limitations for a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit in New Jersey?

New Jersey applies a two-year statute of limitations to medical malpractice claims under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2, but the limitations period for a minor is tolled under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-21 until the child reaches age 18, giving until age 20 to file in most cases. New Jersey also requires an Affidavit of Merit from a qualified expert under N.J.S.A. 2A:53A-27, which must be filed within 60 days of the answer. Cohen, Placitella & Roth retains the appropriate specialist experts at the outset of every case.

Q: How Long Does a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit Take?

Cerebral palsy lawsuits are among the most complex personal injury cases and commonly take two to four years from filing to resolution. The timeline includes obtaining medical records, expert review and disclosure, written and deposition discovery of the obstetricians and nursing staff, life-care planning, mediation, and trial preparation. Pennsylvania and New Jersey medical malpractice cases often involve mandatory pretrial procedures that extend the timeline. Many cases settle before trial once liability and damages experts are exchanged.

What Is Cerebral Palsy? Types, Symptoms & Legal Implications

Cerebral palsy affects muscle tone, movement, and motor skills. It is the most common motor disability in childhood, affecting approximately 1 in 323 children in the United States. The condition is caused by abnormal brain development or damage to the developing brain — and in many cases, that damage is preventable.

Types of Cerebral Palsy

Spastic cerebral palsy — the most common type (approx. 80%), causing muscle stiffness and difficulty with movement
Dyskinetic (athetoid) cerebral palsy — causes uncontrolled, involuntary movements in the arms, legs, and hands
Ataxic cerebral palsy — affects balance and coordination, causing unsteady walking and difficulty with precise movements
Mixed cerebral palsy — involves symptoms of more than one type

Common symptoms include:

Delays in reaching motor milestones (sitting, crawling, walking)
Abnormal muscle tone (too stiff or too floppy)
Difficulty with fine motor tasks such as eating and writing
Speech and communication difficulties
Seizures (present in over 40% of children with CP)

Can cerebral palsy be caused by medical malpractice? Yes. While some cases of cerebral palsy result from factors outside anyone’s control, a significant portion result from preventable medical errors during labor, delivery, or the immediate postnatal period. When that is the case, a cerebral palsy lawyer can help your family pursue compensation.

Common Causes of Cerebral Palsy from Medical Negligence

Cerebral palsy can result from unavoidable factors, but many cases are caused by preventable medical errors during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. If any of the following apply to your child’s case, you may have grounds for a cerebral palsy malpractice claim in Pennsylvania or New Jersey.

Failure to Diagnose or Respond to Fetal Distress

Fetal distress — signaled by abnormal heart rate patterns on a fetal monitor — indicates that the baby is not receiving enough oxygen. Failure to recognize distress signals or to act on them promptly is one of the most common causes of preventable cerebral palsy.

Failure to Perform a Timely C-Section

Any number of events can cause a baby to suffer oxygen deprivation during birth. When vaginal delivery poses a risk, immediate action — including delivery by cesarean section — may be required. Delays in ordering or performing a necessary C-section can result in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and cerebral palsy.

Umbilical Cord Prolapse or Compression

When the umbilical cord becomes compressed during birth, oxygen and blood flow to the baby’s brain is cut off. Failure to recognize cord prolapse or compression — and failure to act immediately — can cause permanent brain damage and cerebral palsy.

Improper Use of Forceps or Vacuum Extraction

Improper application of forceps or vacuum extractors can cause traumatic injury to the baby’s head, brain, and spinal cord, resulting in cerebral palsy or other serious birth injuries.

Failure to Treat Maternal or Neonatal Infection

Both mother and baby are vulnerable to infection during pregnancy and birth. Untreated infections can cause brain inflammation in the newborn, leading to cerebral palsy. Many infections are treatable with antibiotics — failure to diagnose and treat them constitutes medical negligence.

Failure to Treat Newborn Jaundice (Kernicterus)

Many babies develop jaundice after birth. Left untreated, jaundice can progress to kernicterus — a dangerous accumulation of bilirubin in the brain that causes permanent brain damage and cerebral palsy. This is a preventable condition when jaundice is properly monitored and treated.

Oxygen Deprivation During Labor (Birth Asphyxia)

Perinatal asphyxia — insufficient oxygen to the newborn’s brain during labor and delivery — is a leading cause of cerebral palsy. It can result from prolonged labor, placental abruption, umbilical cord complications, or failure to respond to maternal complications in a timely manner.

Filing a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit in Pennsylvania or New Jersey

A cerebral palsy diagnosis can mean a lifetime of medical costs, therapies, and special education. If your child’s cerebral palsy was caused by medical negligence, you may be entitled to compensation that covers those costs — and more. Here is what you need to know about pursuing a claim with a cerebral palsy attorney.

Can I Sue for Cerebral Palsy Caused by Medical Malpractice?

Yes. If your child’s cerebral palsy was caused by medical negligence during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or shortly after birth, you may have a medical malpractice claim. Common examples include delayed C-sections, failure to respond to fetal distress, improper use of delivery instruments, oxygen deprivation, or untreated infections. These claims typically require expert medical review.

What Compensation Is Available in a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit?

Compensation in a cerebral palsy lawsuit may include medical care, therapy, special education, assistive devices, home modifications, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and long-term care costs. Because cerebral palsy is a lifelong condition, severe cases may involve substantial compensation for future needs.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit in Pennsylvania?

In Pennsylvania, parents generally have two years to pursue their own damages after medical negligence occurs. Injured children may have additional time to file claims, often until age 20 in many situations. Because deadlines vary, it is important to speak with a lawyer as early as possible.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit in New Jersey?

In New Jersey, filing deadlines for cerebral palsy lawsuits depend on the child’s age and circumstances of the claim. Parents’ claims are often subject to shorter deadlines than claims involving injured minors. Because timing rules are complex, early legal review is important.

What Does a Cerebral Palsy Investigation Involve?

A cerebral palsy investigation typically involves reviewing prenatal, labor, delivery, and neonatal medical records to determine whether medical negligence occurred. Attorneys often work with medical experts to evaluate whether providers failed to meet the accepted standard of care and to assess long-term care needs.

How Long Does a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit Take?

Cerebral palsy lawsuits are medically complex and may take several years to resolve depending on the evidence, expert review, court schedule, and whether the case settles or proceeds to trial. Some cases resolve sooner through settlement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cerebral Palsy Lawsuits

The cerebral palsy attorneys at Cohen, Placitella & Roth have represented families in Pennsylvania and New Jersey for decades. Here are answers to our most common questions.

Can cerebral palsy be caused by medical malpractice in Philadelphia?

Yes. Some cerebral palsy cases may result from preventable medical errors during labor or delivery, including delayed C-sections, failure to respond to fetal distress, oxygen deprivation, improper use of forceps or vacuum extraction, or untreated infections.

What is the difference between cerebral palsy and a birth injury?

Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition caused by damage to the developing brain and may be the result of a birth injury. A birth injury is a broader term describing harm that occurs during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or shortly after birth.

How much is a cerebral palsy lawsuit worth in Pennsylvania?

Cerebral palsy lawsuit values vary based on the severity of the condition, long-term medical needs, evidence of negligence, lost earning capacity, and future care costs. Severe cases involving lifelong disability may result in substantial compensation.

How do I know if my child’s cerebral palsy was caused by negligence?

Signs that negligence may have contributed to cerebral palsy can include fetal distress, delayed emergency C-sections, prolonged labor, oxygen deprivation, NICU admission, resuscitation at birth, or complications during delivery. A medical review is typically needed to determine whether negligence occurred.

What should I do if I think my child’s cerebral palsy was caused by a doctor’s mistake?

If you believe a doctor’s mistake contributed to your child’s cerebral palsy, gather medical records, document diagnoses and treatment history, and speak with a lawyer as soon as possible. Early investigation may help preserve evidence and determine whether medical negligence occurred.

Can a delayed C-section cause cerebral palsy?

Yes. In some situations, delays in performing an emergency C-section may lead to oxygen deprivation or fetal distress that contributes to cerebral palsy or other neurological injuries.

Is cerebral palsy always caused by medical malpractice?

No. Some cases of cerebral palsy result from unavoidable genetic, developmental, or prenatal factors. However, preventable medical errors during labor and delivery may contribute to some cases.

Can oxygen deprivation during birth cause cerebral palsy?

Yes. Oxygen deprivation during labor or delivery may damage the developing brain and contribute to cerebral palsy or other neurological complications.

How much does a cerebral palsy lawyer cost?

Most cerebral palsy lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning families do not pay upfront legal fees and only pay if compensation is recovered.

What medical records are important in a cerebral palsy lawsuit?

Medical records involving prenatal care, fetal monitoring, labor and delivery, NICU treatment, imaging, and pediatric evaluations may help determine whether medical negligence contributed to cerebral palsy.

I personally used Harry Roth. I was very skeptical about lawyers in general but Harry very quickly changed my mind. Mr Roth and his trusted team were AMAZING!!!! I was involved in a pretty significant motorcycle accident and he worked with me from the hospital, through home care, therapy and remains in touch afterwards. If for some reason Harry couldn’t speak to me, Lolita was very well informed on my case. I like to stay well informed so I made weekly or bi-weekly calls to discuss my case. Sometimes 2 minutes and sometimes 45 minutes, each time speaking to one of the aforementioned two people. Harry produced quick results and made myself and my family very happy. I would highly recommend Harry Roth or any member of this firm in a heartbeat. If you too are looking for a great firm to represent you, especially of you’re a skeptic like me, give Harry and his partners a chance to make your life as happy as he’s made mine.

Response from the owner 14:51 05 Feb 24

Thank you for sharing your experience and for placing your trust in us as your accident lawyer. We understand the skepticism that often surrounds legal assistance, and we’re glad we could change that perception for you. Hearing how Harry, Lolita and team provided you with comprehensive support from the hospital to your recovery at home is incredibly rewarding. Our commitment to keeping our clients well-informed and involved in their cases, no matter how big or small the details, is something we take great pride in. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and it’s heartening to know that we could bring satisfaction and happiness to you and your family after your motorcycle accident. If you or anyone you know ever needs an attorney, remember that Harry and his partners are just a call away. In the meantime, we wish you well.- CPR Team
