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 a medical provider’s failure to meet the standard of care during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or postnatal care, you may have a valid medical malpractice claim. Common actionable causes include delayed C-section, failure to respond to fetal distress, improper use of delivery instruments, and untreated infections.

Pennsylvania and New Jersey both require a qualified medical expert to support a malpractice claim — which is exactly why working with an experienced cerebral palsy law firm is essential.

What Compensation Is Available in a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit?

A successful cerebral palsy lawsuit can recover:

Economic damages — past and future medical expenses, therapies, special education, assistive equipment, home modifications, and lost earning capacity
Noneconomic damages — pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life for both the child and parents

Because cerebral palsy is a lifelong condition, settlement amounts in serious cases can reach into the millions of dollars. Pennsylvania has no cap on damages in medical malpractice cases, allowing full recovery for all economic and non-economic losses.

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

In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for a cerebral palsy malpractice claim is:

For the injured minor child: 2 years from the child’s 18th birthday (until age 20)
For parents’ own damages: 2 years from the date of the negligent act
For wrongful death of the minor: 2 years from the date of death

Timing rules are complex — contact a Philadelphia cerebral palsy lawyer at Cohen, Placitella & Roth as soon as possible to protect your rights.

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

In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for a cerebral palsy malpractice claim is:

Competent adult plaintiffs: 2 years from the date of the negligent act
Minors born before July 2004: 2 years from the child’s 18th birthday
Children born after July 2004: must file by the child’s 13th birthday

Contact our cerebral palsy attorneys at our Red Bank or Cherry Hill, NJ offices for a free evaluation of your New Jersey claim.

What Does a Cerebral Palsy Investigation Involve?

A thorough cerebral palsy investigation requires:

Obtaining all prenatal, labor, delivery, and postnatal medical records
Retaining board-certified medical experts (OB/GYN, neonatologist, pediatric neurologist) to assess whether the standard of care was breached
Conducting a full medical evaluation of the child to assess current condition and future care needs
Retaining a life-care planner to project lifetime costs
Identifying all responsible parties — physicians, nurses, hospitals, or others

At Cohen, Placitella & Roth, we have the financial resources and expert network to conduct this investigation at no upfront cost to your family.

How Long Does a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit Take?

Cerebral palsy malpractice cases are complex and typically take two to four years to resolve, depending on the strength of the evidence, the willingness of the defendant to settle, and court scheduling. Some cases settle before trial; others require a full jury verdict.

Our cerebral palsy lawyers will give you a realistic timeline for your case during your free initial consultation.

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. While some cases of cerebral palsy result from unavoidable genetic factors or in-utero complications, many are caused by preventable medical errors during labor and delivery. Common malpractice causes include:

Delayed or missed diagnosis of fetal distress

Failure to treat umbilical cord complications
Untreated maternal or neonatal infection

If your child was diagnosed with cerebral palsy following a difficult delivery in Philadelphia or anywhere in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, contact our cerebral palsy lawyers for a free case review.

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

Cerebral palsy is a specific neurological condition caused by brain damage — it is one type of birth injury outcome. Birth injuries is the broader category covering any harm to a newborn during labor, delivery, or the immediate postnatal period.

Other birth injuries that can co-occur with or contribute to cerebral palsy include brachial plexus injuries, HIE, and intracranial hemorrhage.

How much is a cerebral palsy lawsuit worth in Pennsylvania?

Settlement values in Pennsylvania cerebral palsy cases vary significantly based on:

Severity of the condition and lifetime care projections
Strength of the evidence of negligence
Lost earning capacity for the child
Pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life

In serious cases, settlements can reach into the millions. Pennsylvania imposes no cap on damages in medical malpractice cases. Contact our cerebral palsy lawyers for a free evaluation of your case value.

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

Signs that your child’s cerebral palsy may have resulted from medical negligence include:

A prolonged or difficult labor and delivery
Use of forceps or vacuum extraction during delivery
An emergency C-section that was delayed or not performed
A low Apgar score at birth

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
