Movement will always be a part of our lives, fact that makes it very important no matter the type of life you have. Even with all our technology and living in a modern world, we still need to move around, press buttons, move a mouse or any other pointing device. Life is all about experiencing new things, new places and new human interactions. A life without movement will limit these experiences and can even keep them away from you. Unfortunately, not all people can experience a life without movement limitations. Birth injuries such as cerebral palsy can keep a child in a wheelchair or bed for most of his life causing him to lose a lot in social and educational experiences.

Cerebral palsy is a group of chronic disorders that appear in the first years of life and affects the nerves responsible with controlling the body's muscles. The term is used to describe various physical problems in which brain damage or poor development has affected the ability of the child to control muscles and the overall movement of the body. Birth injuries are often caused by the lack of oxygen reaching a part of the brain, causing the brain cells located in that section to die and affecting the body's muscles controlled by those cells.

The symptoms of cerebral palsy appear often as delays in child development. Delays will be present in the following child actions:
- Crawling;
- Walking;
- Sitting up;
- Rolling over;
- Controlling the head.

During delivery, the doctor must make sure enough oxygen reaches the child's brain and nothing interferes with the umbilical cord, his oxygen source while in the mother. While most birth injuries are not caused by human error, there are some cases where a negligent doctor can lead to birth injuries.

If your child was injured at birth, it is recommended you seek legal assistance from an experienced and skillful attorney specialized in birth injuries for a free review of your case. The free review is very important because it will determine whether or not your child's birth injuries were caused by human error or not. Not all birth injuries may be eligible for filing a lawsuit. Consulting a lawyer is highly recommended because he will be able to offer the best legal options for your particular situation. If the birth injuries suffered by your child were caused by human error, you may be entitled to receive compensation to cover all the harm produced by the negligent doctor. Compensation will open doors for your child to quality treatment and medical care.
