In every case, a birth injury lawyer must show that a provider (or multiple providers) was/were negligent. This means that the provider did something wrong. We must also prove that the negligence was a cause of the baby’s birth injury. If the injuries would have occurred anyway, even without the negligence, then there may be no case. Finally, we need to prove what the baby’s injuries are. To determine if you have a cerebral palsy lawsuit, each of these three elements must be met. We first start the review to determine if there was negligence. Then we move on to whether the negligence caused the birth injury. Finally, we assess the baby’s damages to the birth injury. When we can prove all three elements, the CP lawsuit will then get filed.
