It is the hope and dream of every pregnant mother that their baby is born healthy. They ensure their lifestyle nurtures the baby inside their bellies and they keep up with all the doctor visits to track the growth and health of their unborn baby. To the great misfortune, some situations can happen during or after pregnancy, where negligence occurs during prenatal care or delivery, and a baby develops cerebral palsy.
While cerebral palsy can be brought on by a rare genetic condition, most of the time cerebral palsy is caused by a hypoxic injury (lack of oxygen) to the baby that should have been prevented if medical professionals had practiced a standard level of care. If your child has developed cerebral palsy due to the negligent acts of medical professionals, contact our New Mexico cerebral palsy lawyers to discuss your case.
When medical professionals are not appropriately trained, or a hospital system has inadequate policies and protocols for pregnant women and baby deliveries, it can lead to catastrophic injury to a baby and leave a family to suffer from the effects. If your baby has suffered a brain injury due to trauma inflicted at birth, the cerebral palsy attorneys at Dominguez Law Firm may be able to help you move forward with a negligence claim against the doctor or hospital.

Symptoms of cerebral palsy generally include the following:

Could my child’s injuries have been prevented? Since there is no cure for cerebral palsy, the permanent damage affects children in many ways, and treatment is lifelong.
