The Two Categories of Cerebral Palsy Misdiagnosis
A cerebral palsy misdiagnosis can be divided into two distinct categories: cases in which a patient with cerebral palsy is diagnosed and treated for a different condition, and cases in which a patient with another disease or illness is diagnosed and treated for cerebral palsy. In either situation, the patient is denied vital treatment and is put at risk of serious injury or death.
If you are working on a case involving cerebral palsy misdiagnosis, your case may benefit from the input and testimony of one of our medical expert witnesses. Our vast network of specialists includes neurologists, neurosurgeons, pediatric neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, rehabilitation specialists, and many other experienced medical professionals who can play a vital role in cases involving cerebral palsy misdiagnosis.
