San Antonio Cerebral Palsy Attorney
Seeking Justice for Birth Injuries Across Bexar County and South Texas
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a life-altering diagnosis that affects a child’s movement, muscle tone, and motor skills. While some cases are congenital, many families in San Antonio discover that their child’s condition was caused by a preventable medical error during labor or delivery.
At The Miller Law Firm, we represent families who have been let down by the healthcare systems in San Antonio and the surrounding South Texas communities. If your child’s CP was the result of a birth injury at a local hospital, our legal team has the medical-legal expertise to hold negligent providers accountable.
Was Your Child’s CP Caused by Medical Negligence?
In San Antonio’s major medical centers, doctors and nurses are trained to recognize the signs of fetal distress. When they fail to act, the consequences are devastating. Our firm investigates births occurring at hospitals throughout the San Antonio Medical Center and surrounding areas to determine if malpractice occurred.
Common grounds for a Cerebral Palsy lawsuit in Texas include:
- Oxygen Deprivation (Hypoxia): Failure to recognize umbilical cord issues or placental abruption.
- Delayed C-Section: Failure to order an emergency Cesarean at San Antonio hospitals despite clear signs of fetal distress.
- Maternal Infection Mismanagement: Failure to treat infections like Group B Strep (GBS) which can lead to brain damage.
- Traumatic Delivery: Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors by South Texas delivery teams.
Navigating Texas Medical Malpractice Laws
Texas has specific laws that make birth injury cases more complex than standard personal injury claims. When filing a Cerebral Palsy claim in Bexar County, you need an attorney who understands:
- The Texas Damage Caps: Texas law currently limits non-economic damages (pain and suffering) in medical malpractice cases. We focus on maximizing economic damages, such as the lifetime cost of care, therapy, and specialized equipment, which are not capped.
- Statute of Limitations: In Texas, there are strict deadlines for filing birth injury claims. While the "discovery rule" may apply to minors, it is vital to consult a San Antonio birth injury lawyer as soon as possible to preserve evidence.
- Chapter 74 Expert Reports: Under Texas law, we must provide a detailed expert report from a qualified physician shortly after filing suit. We maintain a network of top-tier medical experts to build a winning case from day one.
