Quadriplegia is known as paralysis of both the arms and legs. It is caused by a spinal cord injury or stroke and is sometimes known as severe cerebral palsy. The spinal cord controls the neurological areas of the body. Most birth injury-caused quadriplegics need to learn how to perform daily living skills differently than a person who has had a normal birth. They need to endure years of learning to cope with the after-effects of the birth injury. At times, they become very depressed and extra difficult to understand emotionally and mentally because of the neurological damage. Family members need extra patience and an abundance of love to deal with a severe cerebral palsy crisis. The patient requires long-term help. The risk for other medical problems also increases and all of these factors can devastate lifestyles or relationships. If you feel that your child underwent negligence during birth and you live in the Baltimore, Maryland area, then contact a birth injury lawyer at Dugan, Babij & Tolley, LLC.

The law firm of Dugan, Babij & Tolley, LLC can research the questions of negligence in a severe spinal cord/cerebral palsy birth injury by determining the cause. An example of a negligent injury would be a sudden jolt to the nerves or cord. In the event that a birth injury was endured due to the negligence of a trained healthcare professional, it will be determined with medical and legal evidence. A severed or nerve damaged spinal cord makes it hard for the afflicted person to move or maneuver, causing disabilities. People who have been diagnosed with this injury are affected in different degrees by the inability to talk, walk, use their arms, legs, and/or perform other vital movements. Because of the known tender structure of the spinal cord, extra care should be given to it. A person who has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy may want to contact a birth injury lawyer.
