To obtain more information on CP, please reference our previous blog posts.\n\n<u>Please do not hesitate to call <strong>Wagners<\/strong> if you have further questions about medical malpractice and CP and would like to consult with a lawyer<\/u>.\n<strong><a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wagners.co\/about-us\/\" title=\"About Us\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1047955\">Wagners<\/a><\/strong> has extensive experience in medical malpractice and complex litigation, and has represented clients throughout Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI. <strong>Wagners<\/strong> has been successful in many birth trauma cases, and has obtained for its clients the much needed and lifelong financial support for families with children of CP.\n<h1>Diagnosis<\/h1>\nDiagnosis of CP is based on the child\u2019s development over time. Physicians, particularly pediatricians, are responsible for monitoring a child\u2019s developmental advancement and growth benchmarks. A general movements assessment, which involves measuring movements that occur spontaneously among those less than four months of age, is an oft-used method for diagnosing CP.\n\nFurther diagnostic tests, such as blood tests and medical imaging, may be used to rule out other possible causes, and abnormal results can help to detect a high likelihood of associated conditions, such as epilepsy and intellectual disability.\n\n<u>Time is of the essence: an early diagnosis of CP is critical for maximizing a child\u2019s ability to expand their capabilities and lifelong potential<\/u>. An early diagnosis can lead to necessary interventions that will help a child diagnosed with CP master everyday tasks, increase mobility and improve their quality of life. Early interventions will be in the form of whatever therapies and treatments a child may need, and can address movement, cognitive development, social interaction, and behavior.\n\nThe family of an individual with CP is likely to incur <u>significant expenses<\/u> related to the ongoing need for medical care, special education services, developmental assistance, and assisted living. Other factors, including occupational limitations and the indirect costs of lost productivity and wages, also contribute to the overall expense.\n\nIf you suspect that <a href=\"https:\/\/wagners.co\/medical-malpractice-lawyer-halifax\/\">medical malpractice<\/a> may have played a role in your child\u2019s CP, <strong>Wagners <\/strong>may be able to seek compensation for the losses incurred by you and your family, including pain and suffering, medical expenses, and past and future treatment costs.\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Blog is the fifth in a series of posts on Cerebral Palsy (CP) and its relation to medical malpractice.
