Is it true that most injuries to a baby are just one of those things that cannot be avoided?
	It is true that sometimes a baby who suffers severe birth injury is not a victim of malpractice; However, sometimes cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, and other serious injuries are the result of negligent care.
	If my child is suffering from cerebral palsy do I have any rights? Does my child have any rights?
	Birthing injuries, including cerebral palsy, may be the result of negligence on the part of a doctor. Between 10 and 20% of the children who are diagnosed with cerebral palsy may establish that is was the result of a birthing injury. Fetal distress is the main cause of such an injury. A careful review of the fetal monitoring tapes will frequently reveal whether the cerebral palsy was the product of mismanaged labor or just one of those things.
