What Is a Cerebral Palsy Claim?
A cerebral palsy claim is the legal process of seeking compensation when a child develops cerebral palsy as a result of medical negligence during pregnancy, labour, or shortly after birth. This condition is often caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain, delays in treatment, or errors in monitoring. Cerebral palsy can lead to lifelong physical and cognitive disabilities, requiring specialist care, therapies, and adaptations.
If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy due to negligent medical care, LITKRAFT can help you pursue justice and secure the compensation needed to provide ongoing support for your child’s future.
Who Can Claim for Cerebral Palsy?
You may be entitled to make a cerebral palsy negligence claim if:
• Your child developed cerebral palsy due to negligent management of pregnancy or labour
• Medical staff failed to act on signs of foetal distress, delayed delivery, or mismanaged complications
• You are a parent or legal guardian acting on behalf of your child
• A family member is pursuing justice after a preventable tragedy involving cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy claims can be brought against NHS Trusts or private hospitals responsible for the negligent care.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
