CP & Medical Error

There are chances that Cerebral Palsy can be the result of medical negligence. Most of the CP cases occur during the pregnancy or labour period. If you doubt malpractice, deal with it legally by filing a lawsuit, and if proven right, you get the compensation, which can be used at least for the treatment.
