(Newswire.net — November 27, 2013) — Ginsburg & Associates confirmed the settlement win of $3,105,000.00 that will be made to a pregnant woman who was caught in a high speed police chase crash. The accident resulted in the woman going into premature labor and the child was subsequently born with cerebral palsy. The Ginsburg team proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the police were negligent and caused the woman’s labor to commence.
“Premature birth does not mean a child will develop cerebral palsy or any health issues. Yet, nearly half of the children who do develop cerebral palsy were born prematurely. Many of the neurological conditions and causes associated with cerebral palsy (such as damage to the brain’s white matter, known as periventricular leukomalacia, or PVL) are closely linked to preterm delivery. Preterm babies also have an increased rate of infection, another significant risk factor for cerebral palsy” Source
Though there is some doubt as to premature birth causing the cerebral palsy, Ginsburg & Associates were able to convince the jury that there was no other reason that the woman went into premature labor, so the police were in fact responsible. The case was challenging but resulted in a positive outcome for the client.
If you or someone you know, has a child with cerebal palsy, please contact the office immediately to set up a time for the case to be evaluated. There are so many things that could have caused cerebal palsy and most are not genetics. It is important to know what happened to the child. Especially, because the children with cerebal palsy deserve a lifetime of excellent care that is so very expensive. The responsible party needs to be made to pay. If there is negligence, Ginsburg & Associates can help get the money the child deserves.
