Cincinnati cerebral palsy law firm

Did your child suffer from jaundice shortly after birth? Was this properly diagnosed and treated by the doctors? Has your child since been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy? If you're child suffered from jaundice that was not properly diagnosed or treated, complications could have been the cause of your child's cerebral palsy. The condition is caused by brain damage, and affects the coordination and development of motor skills. Children with Cerebral Palsy usually take longer to hit major milestones like rolling over, sitting up, or crawling, since the simplest of movements become very difficult. Sometimes the disease may not be diagnosed immediately, as it is tough to tell in infants if there is an issue with motor skills.
