Cerebral palsy (CP) lawsuits often result in some of the most significant birth injury settlements because the condition typically requires lifelong medical care, therapy, and support. The exact amount depends on the severity of the child’s needs, state laws, and whether medical negligence can be proven.
| Severity of Condition | Examples of Costs Covered | Typical Settlement / Award Range* |
|---|---|---|
| Mild CP | Physical therapy, outpatient treatments, and occasional adaptive equipment | $500,000 – $1M+ |
| Moderate CP | Regular therapy, surgeries, special education, and mobility aids | $1M – $5M+ |
| Severe CP | Lifelong nursing care, multiple surgeries, home modifications, adaptive vehicles, 24/7 support | $5M – $10M+ |
*These figures are estimates. Some cerebral palsy cases have resulted in $10M+ verdicts or settlements, especially when medical negligence was apparent and the child required intensive lifetime care.
Bottom line: The value of a CP lawsuit is based on the child’s lifetime care costs, pain and suffering, loss of future earnings, and the evidence of medical negligence.
