Below is a look at settlements and verdicts in Michigan, followed by a full breakdown of Michigan’s personal injury, product liability, and medical malpractice law.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a condition that is accompanied by changes in muscle tone and posture, both at rest and with voluntary activity. It is usually diagnosed before the age of three and is the result of brain damage.  There is no question that medical malpractice practice causes many cases of cerebral palsy.  In these cases, the child’s cerebral palsy is usually caused by mistakes made during the birthing process.

There are many different types of cerebral palsy. Neurologic classifications of cerebral palsy include spastic (pyramidal) cerebral palsy, dyskinetic (extrapyramidal) cerebral palsy, and mixed types.
