Having Cerebral Palsy does not guarantee that it was done by a fault of the health care provider. Typically Cerebral Palsy happen as a result of lack of oxygen or other complications during the birth procedure. Careful testing and emergency procedures are in place for doctors and nurses to monitor the child's oxygen level as well as many other important factors.
