Cerebral Palsy

Depending on the severity of the condition, Cerebral Palsy (CP) results in limited mobility, spastic movements and reduced brain and physical functions. In severe cases it can result in paralysis and leave the victim immobile. It is sometimes caused by disease or natural causes, but is most frequently due to lack of oxygen during delivery, an infection in the mother before or during birth, birth trauma or a brain injury after birth. Erb's palsy is a birth injury that can result in paralysis of the arm. It may require the infant to undergo physical therapy later in life or corrective surgery.

If your baby was born with cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy or any other type of birth injury, please call Hillyard, Wahlberg, Kudla & Sloane, LLP at our toll free number of 1-800-630-2366. From our office in Denver, Colorado, we can discuss your options in a free initial consultation.

Many cerebral palsy and Erb's palsy sufferers can, with help, lead relatively normal lives. In severe cases, they may need long-term care and close attention for the rest of their lives.
