Possibly. Some cerebral palsy cases are linked to events before, during or shortly after birth.

A claim may be possible where poor care caused or contributed to a lack of oxygen, delayed delivery, untreated infection, failure to monitor the baby properly, or another avoidable event that led to brain injury.

Not every case of cerebral palsy is caused by negligence. A careful investigation will usually be needed to understand the likely cause and whether different care would have changed the outcome.
