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.

Faulty development or damage to motor areas in the brain disrupt the brain's ability to adequately control movement and posture.
