How do I Know if I Should Take Legal Action to Help My Child?
When you are eagerly expecting the arrival of your baby, filing a lawsuit against your medical team is the furthest thing from your mind. Malpractice is something that happens on television or to “other people.” But when you discover that your child has Cerebral Palsy, you begin to think in directions that are foreign, frightening, and overwhelming. When you consult us, subject to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, and once an attorney-client relationship has been established by an Engagement Letter provided by us and signed by you, we will try to find a way to help you and your special child. A lawsuit may feel like another burden you and your family cannot afford to bear. But if your child developed Cerebral Palsy because your doctor or his staff made an error, you and your child may deserve to be compensated. It may be that we can help you establish that, if your doctor didn’t make any errors, you and your baby may not be suffering today.
And as you may be discovering, caring for a child with Cerebral Palsy is expensive. Unless you are one of the few Americans with unlimited income, you risk running out of money—fast.
With the sky-high costs of treatment, therapy, specialists, out of town travel, adaptive equipment, and more, you might begin to wonder, “How will my family survive?”
Every parent with a special needs child wishes for the day when they no longer have to worry about money. Every parent also knows that easing their family’s pain will take much more than money. Filing and winning a case may provide your family with financial support, and may also answer your questions:
- How did this happen to my child?â„¢
- Who will pay for all the medical expenses?â„¢
- Who will take care of my child when I’m gone?â„¢
Choosing the right attorney is critical to getting the answers you need.

Get the Legal Help Your Child Deserves
You would not leave your child in the hands of a caregiver who didn’t understand his special needs. Nor would you leave your child with someone who didn’t understand children in the first place. Instead, you want your child taken care of only by someone with experience, compassion, and a sincere desire to do what is best for him.
