Cerebral Palsy Information >> Causes >> Cerebral Palsy Lawyers
Cerebral Palsy is a chronic condition affecting muscle coordination and body movement. Cerebral Palsy is usually caused by oxygen deprivation and trauma to the head during labor and delivery.  These can each occur for several reasons including birth complications and doctor error.  Cerebral Palsy occurs if a child does not get enough oxygen and his or her brain is injured. Faulty development or damage to motor areas in the brain disrupt the brain's ability to adequately control movement and posture.

While Cerebral palsy is not progressive, secondary conditions can develop.In the United States, approximately 764,000 children and adults show one or more of the symptoms of cerebral palsy. Every year, about 8,000 babies and infants are diagnosed with the condition.
