Cerebral Palsy:

Discovering that your child has Cerebral Palsy is devastating. Many questions arise. Why did this happen to my child? What will my child’s the future be ? How will I pay for all the therapies and treatments my child needs? I’m young and strong now, but wWhat’s going to happen when my baby is grown up and I’m no longer able too old to lift,  and carry, and clean, and care for my child anymore?

Who will look out for my baby when I’m gone? Fear, worry and depression are common.

The fact is that the cost of caring for a child with Cerebral Palsy often runs into many millions of dollars over a lifetime. There are therapies, surgeries, equipment, braces, and hospitalizations to pay for, and there is the cost of having someone watch and care for your child as he or she grows physically into adulthood, but remains dependent upon you for feeding, dressing, cleaning, movement and everything else.

No amount of money will cure your child. However, obtaining compensation will help ease your burden by assuring that your child receives quality care throughout his or her lifetime no matter what happens to you as you both grow older. This can make a real difference in your child’s life and in your life.

Other Conditions:

Being told that you have a cancer and that it should have been discovered sooner, or that your loved one unexpectedly died or became injured while under medical care, can cause both anger and fear. Why did this happen? Could this have been prevented? Who is going to pay for my treatments? How will I manage while I’m out of work recovering? Will I ever recover? How will I face life now? Why me?
