Cerebral Palsy Claims

Free Expert Support | Claims 24 Hours

Cerebral palsy is a lifelong condition that can affect movement, coordination, and quality of life. For many families, it comes as a result of complications during pregnancy, labour, or birth.

If medical mistakes played a part in your child’s condition, you may be entitled to cerebral palsy compensation. This money can help provide the care, support, and security your child needs for life.

At Claims 24 Hours, we understand how tough this journey can be. That’s why we’re here to guide you with free advice, expert legal support, and a no win, no fee promise.

What Is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a condition caused by damage to the developing brain—often before, during, or just after birth. It can affect:

Movement and coordination
Speech and swallowing
Muscle stiffness or weakness
Learning and development
Everyday independence

While some cases are unavoidable, others may be caused by medical negligence.

How Medical Negligence Can Cause Cerebral Palsy

Medical errors that may lead to cerebral palsy include:

Failing to monitor the baby’s oxygen levels during labour
Delays in delivering the baby when distress is shown
Failing to diagnose infections during pregnancy
Mismanagement of pre-eclampsia or maternal conditions
Mistakes during delivery (forceps, delayed C-section)
Failure to treat jaundice or neonatal infections quickly

When these errors happen, the baby’s brain may be starved of oxygen, leading to long-term damage.

Who Can Make a Cerebral Palsy Claim?

You may be able to claim if:

Your child’s cerebral palsy was caused (or made worse) by medical mistakes
A doctor, nurse, or midwife failed to act with reasonable care
The condition could have been prevented with proper treatment

Parents or guardians usually bring the claim on behalf of their child. If you are the child (and now an adult), you may also bring the claim yourself.

Time Limits for Cerebral Palsy Claims

Normally, you have 3 years from the date of negligence. But in cerebral palsy cases:

For children, the 3-year limit doesn’t start until their 18th birthday.
They then have until their 21st birthday to make a claim.
If the child lacks mental capacity, the time limit may not apply at all.

This gives families more time to gather evidence and make a decision.

How Much Compensation Can You Get for Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy compensation can be life-changing. It can cover:

Specialist medical treatment and therapies
Home adaptations and equipment (wheelchairs, hoists, vehicles)
Ongoing care and support for daily needs
Loss of future earnings and financial security
Pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life

The amount varies depending on the severity of the condition. Severe cases often reach multi-million pound settlements to provide lifetime care.

Why Make a Cerebral Palsy Claim?

To secure your child’s future and cover lifelong care costs
To access specialist treatment, therapies, and equipment
To hold the medical professionals accountable
To provide financial security and peace of mind for your family

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a cerebral palsy claim take?
These cases can take longer than other claims, sometimes several years. But we may be able to secure interim payments so you can access support sooner.

Will making a claim affect my child’s NHS care?
No. NHS care continues as normal. The claim process is separate and independent.

Can I claim if my child is now older?
Yes, if they are under 21 or lack mental capacity, a claim may still be possible.

Do I need to pay anything upfront?
No. With our no win no fee service, you don’t pay unless we win your case.

How much compensation could we get?
Every case is different. Some settlements are hundreds of thousands, others reach millions of pounds, depending on your child’s needs.

Do I need to go to court?
Most cerebral palsy claims are settled outside of court. If a court case is needed, we’ll guide and support you every step of the way.
