Typical Compensation Ranges for CP Lawsuits
| 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.
