CEREBRAL PALSY SOLICITOR

An English surgeon first recognized Spastic Diplegia around hundred years ago, which was initially termed as static encephalopathy or Little’s Disease. It is a devastating injury that not only affects the victim, but proves life altering also for him and his family.

This disease has its origins in permanent untreatable brain damage that has occurred during either prenatal, ante natal or post natal period, and it is usually caused due to a natural setback than being due to any kind of medical neglect. It is possible to claim for compensation against the medical care providers and more usually from their insurers, if the injury is due to any sub standard medical care.

An expert solicitor who has considerable experience in handling cases of cerebral palsy, would use what was called the Legal Aid Scheme, now managed by the Legal Services Commission, to assist you in the complex process of claiming for medical negligence as most victims are entitled to get their claim funded publicly at no charge.

Either damage or poor development of those parts of brain that manage intellect and/or movement causes this diseased condition. Lack of oxygen intake during birth is the main cause, but several other less known factors can lead to successful claim against clinical carelessness. Children having this condition must get their clinical history examined in detail by a well- versed cerebral palsy solicitor to ascertain whether clinical negligence was the cause.

Time limits are there which might apply and it is typically seen in cases of personal injury that either the claims have to be settled, or within three years after the injury has been diagnosed, the proceedings ought to be issued in the law court.

Exceptions apply to this common ruling, and time does not end until 18 years of age, and may never end for the mentally challenged. Thus to prevent the loss of right for claiming compensation due to ending of time, it becomes vital to get competent advice from an experienced cerebral palsy solicitor, soon after the diagnosis is done.

While our lawyers mostly handle cases involving minors (those under 18 years), many adult victims may also be qualified to claim compensation but they do not do that. People over 21 years with fine mental health leave it normally due to late, but these time limits do not pertain for people who are intellectually challenged, thus entitling them for a life long compensation claim.

This compensation which usually amounts to several million pounds if awarded can be highly fulfilling for the mentally challenged who is in continuous need of care. A victim of 33 years has recently claimed successfully for significant compensation through our lawyers.
