Personal Injury FAQs

Are most cerebral palsy cases settled, or do they go to trial?

In such cases, a fair settlement is usually reached during the negotiations with insurance companies, and hence, a trial is not necessary. These negotiations are always based on the value of your case, the strength of evidence, and how aggressive your lawyers are in not accepting low offers that are not representative of your damages.

What expenses can compensation from a cerebral palsy lawsuit cover?

The fairest compensation allows you to address the expenses you have already incurred and the costs of your child's future care. In this regard, the benefits may include:

• Home care services or care in specialized institutions.
• Home and vehicle modifications to accommodate the child.
• Loss of wages for parents who dedicate themselves to caring for the child.
• Educational programs that support the child’s learning.
• Surgeries, therapies, medication, and medical equipment.
• Mental health and emotional support for the child and their parents.
