FAQS
Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions related to birth injuries and cerebral palsy.
General Cerebral Palsy Questions
Can I take legal action if my child has cerebral palsy?
- Yes. If your child’s cerebral palsy may have been caused by a preventable medical error during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, you may have grounds for a legal claim.
What kinds of medical mistakes can lead to cerebral palsy?
- Cerebral palsy can sometimes result from complications such as lack of oxygen during birth (HIE), delayed C-section, improper use of forceps or vacuum, or failure to monitor fetal distress.
How do I know if my child’s condition was caused by negligence?
- Many parents aren’t sure, and that’s okay. A legal team can review your medical records and consult with experts to determine if medical negligence contributed to your child’s diagnosis.
Is there a time limit to file a cerebral palsy lawsuit?
- Yes. Every state has a statute of limitations that limits how long you have to take legal action. In California, the timeline can vary depending on the case, so it is important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
What to Do After Diagnosis
What’s the first step if I think I have a case?
- Start with a free consultation. Stalwart Law Group can listen to your story and help determine whether further investigation is warranted.
Do I need my child’s medical records to begin?
- No. Your legal team can request and review the necessary records on your behalf once you begin working together.
Will pursuing a case cost me anything upfront?
No. Stalwart Law Group works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay unless your case is successful.
How long does a case typically take?
- It depends on the complexity of the case, but birth injury claims can take several months to a few years. Throughout the process, your legal team will keep you informed and supported.
