Answer: 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 […]
No. Cerebral palsy (CP) is not contagious. It is a neurological condition, not an infectious disease, and cannot be passed from one person to another.
Cerebral palsy is caused by brain damage or abnormal brain development, usually occurring during pregnancy, labor, and delivery, or in the early years of a child’s life. Factors may include oxygen deprivation, infections, premature birth, or traumatic birth injuries—not exposure to someone else with cerebral palsy.
This misconception shows how crucial public awareness and education are in reducing stigma. Families should know that cerebral palsy is a medical condition requiring therapy, treatment, and support, not isolation.
