Cerebral Palsy Lawyer in Tennessee
Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition that often results from oxygen deprivation, lack of blood flow to the brain, or developmental abnormality, usually before or during birth. Parents of children who receive this diagnosis are often devastated and overwhelmed as they consider the future for their child and ponder how they will care for the child’s special needs.
A parent’s dreams for their child are often crushed by a cerebral palsy diagnosis. Make no mistake—individuals with cerebral palsy are beautiful people who can live rewarding lives, and parents often credit raising a child with special needs for helping them see hope and promise in life and introducing them to a world with an enlightened perspective. But the challenges faced by children with this diagnosis, and the parents who will care for them, are undeniable. No one would deny that the stress placed on these parents—financially and otherwise—is enormous and frightening.
We were reluctant to seek an attorney after my sons auto accident where he was a passenger. After seeing Olen's hard and diligent work on the case, I'm know my wife and I couldn't have gotten the settlement that we did and the cost reductions from the hospital, air ambulance, etc. without his expertise and guidance. He has become a trusted adviser and friend and I am recommending him to everyone I know. You will not find a better attorney or firm. Thank you Olen and team!
This was the most professional business I've ever dealt with. I can't imagine finding a more courteous or effective attorney.
Focused on Your Recovery
Any birth injury lawyer handling this type of case should have a familiarity with reviewing fetal monitor strips and other common indicators of fetal distress. The attorney must have the resources and knowledge to consult with leading physicians to increase the likelihood that a viable birth injury case can result in a successful outcome. These cases must be handled with great care, as there are numerous ways in which a claim can be derailed.
At The Haynes Firm, our medical malpractice attorneys are dedicated to obtaining justice on behalf of children that are injured at birth due to a professional’s failure to provide medical care in a reasonable fashion.
