What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that affects movement, balance, and posture. It is typically caused by damage to the brain before, during, or shortly after birth. Common causes include medical negligence, such as failure to monitor fetal distress, delayed C-sections, and improper use of delivery tools. In Austin, families may seek legal recourse when medical negligence is suspected as the cause of cerebral palsy. Recognizing the signs of potential medical oversight early can be crucial in building a strong case, and our team is equipped to conduct a thorough investigation to identify any deviations from standard medical practices. Our understanding of local medical and legal frameworks enables us to approach each case strategically, ensuring every potential avenue for justice is explored.

The Legal Process for Cerebral Palsy Cases

Embarking on a cerebral palsy lawsuit involves several critical steps:

Case Evaluation: Our first step is a thorough evaluation of your situation, including medical records and expert consultations, to establish a strong case foundation. This initial phase is crucial because it determines the course of the legal proceedings and identifies potential areas of negligence that may have contributed to the condition.
Filing a Lawsuit: After establishing the credibility of your case, we file a formal complaint against the negligent parties, initiating the legal process. This step marks the beginning of a committed legal journey driven by a personalized strategy developed specifically for your situation.
Discovery Phase: This involves exchanging information with the defense to uncover all relevant facts and evidence. Engaging in this process requires meticulous attention to detail and often uncovers critical information that strengthens the case for trial or settlement negotiations.
Settlement Negotiations: Most cases reach a settlement through negotiations, but our readiness to proceed to trial ensures we never accept less than you deserve. At this stage, our negotiation strategies are rooted in the strength of our case, aimed at maximizing the compensation you are entitled to.
Trial Preparation & Proceedings: If necessary, we meticulously prepare and present your case in court to seek maximum compensation for your child’s future needs. This preparation involves building a compelling narrative supported by expert testimony and tangible evidence, ensuring every facet of your claim is validated.

I highly recommend Briggle & Polan, PLLC.
