2. Cerebral palsy Malpractice
 Medical malpractice is caused by the doctor’s avoidable
mistake which leads to injury to the patient. In case of
cerebral palsy malpractice the injury is usually severe brain
damage to the newborn child, necessitating lifelong
treatment.
 Cerebral refers to the cerebrum, which is the affected area
of the brain (although the disorder most likely involves
connections between the cortex and other parts of the brain
such as the cerebellum), and palsy refers to disorder of
movement.
