Disorder Injury Claims in Texas:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Long term care needs can be extensive when basal ganglia injury leads to athetoid cerebral palsy with involuntary movements and fluctuating muscle tone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preventable brain injury can be tied to failures during labor and delivery such as missed fetal distress or delayed emergency cesarean delivery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Severe harm can follow newborn care lapses when oxygen deprivation is not addressed promptly and therapeutic hypothermia is delayed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Permanent brain injury can result when newborn jaundice is not monitored and treated and kernicterus develops.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disputes over timing can shape outcomes because MRI patterns may distinguish an acute birth related injury from earlier developmental causes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recovery can be constrained by limits on non economic damages in Texas medical malpractice cases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Options can be lost if legal time limits are missed because Texas applies both a statute of limitations framework for minors and an outer cutoff that cannot be extended.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Case strength can erode with delay because key records and fetal monitoring data may become difficult to obtain and witnesses may forget details.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Financial recovery often centers on future medical expenses because care needs can extend across a lifetime.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compensation may address medical expenses and support needs such as assistive devices and home modifications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id23729_3af574-12 >

words. You may be searching for answers about what happened during labor, delivery, or the hours that followed, and wondering whether the care your child received fell short of what it should have been. Those questions deserve honest, informed answers from someone who understands both the medicine and the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/locations\/\">Hastings Law Firm<\/a>, we focus exclusively on medical malpractice, including birth injury cases involving athetoid movement disorders. Founded by Tommy Hastings, who is <strong>Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law<\/strong> by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, our legal team is here to help you understand what may have gone wrong and what legal options may be available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child&#8217;s condition may be linked to a preventable medical error, we can review what happened and explain your options in a free, confidential consultation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<!-- [element-16902]

writhing movements of the fingers, hands, toes, and feet, often caused by damage to the basal ganglia due to oxygen deprivation or untreated jaundice at birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Athetosis refers to the involuntary, slow movements that often signal underlying brain damage. Athetoid cerebral palsy is a condition caused by damage to the brain&#8217;s basal ganglia. It is most commonly associated with dyskinetic cerebral palsy, a form of cerebral palsy caused by damage to the basal ganglia, the region of the brain responsible for coordinating and regulating voluntary movement. When that area of the brain is injured, typically through oxygen deprivation or untreated jaundice at birth, a child may develop the uncontrolled movements that define athetosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dyskinetic cerebral palsy, sometimes referred to as athetoid cerebral palsy, differs from other types of cerebral palsy in how it affects the body. Rather than causing constant muscle stiffness, it produces fluctuating muscle tone. A child&#8217;s muscles may shift from unusually loose to rigid within seconds, making controlled movement extremely difficult. These movements can manifest as <strong>chorea<\/strong> (rapid, jerky movements) or <strong>dystonia<\/strong> (sustained twisting postures), adding to the complexity of the child&#8217;s daily challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/cprn.org\/dyskinetic-cerebral-palsy\/\">Cerebral Palsy Research Network<\/a> describes dyskinetic cerebral palsy as a condition that primarily affects a person&#8217;s ability to control movement due to abnormal signals from the damaged basal ganglia. This brain injury disrupts the signals that tell muscles when to contract and when to relax, resulting in the involuntary twisting and repetitive motions parents often notice as their child grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For families consulting with a Texas athetosis malpractice lawyer, understanding how athetoid cerebral palsy differs from spastic cerebral palsy is an important first step. Spastic CP, the most common form, is caused by damage to the motor cortex and results in tight, stiff muscles. Athetoid CP affects the basal ganglia and results in involuntary, uncontrollable movements. These distinctions matter because they point to different types of brain injury, different potential causes, and different patterns of medical evidence in an <strong>athetosis malpractice case<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Families often need the guidance of an <strong>athetoid cerebral palsy attorney<\/strong> to manage these medical details. Understanding the physiology helps your <strong>athetosis birth injury lawyer<\/strong> pinpoint exactly when the negligence occurred. Since the basal ganglia are highly sensitive to metabolic changes, a skilled <strong>dyskinetic CP attorney<\/strong> knows that specific injury patterns here often point to preventable birth trauma rather than genetic causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following table highlights the key differences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Dyskinetic (Athetoid) Cerebral Palsy<\/th><th>Spastic Cerebral Palsy<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Brain Area Affected<\/strong><\/td><td>Basal ganglia<\/td><td>Motor cortex<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Muscle Tone<\/strong><\/td><td>Fluctuating (shifts between floppy and stiff)<\/td><td>Consistently high (tight, rigid muscles)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Movement Pattern<\/strong><\/td><td>Involuntary writhing, twisting movements<\/td><td>Stiff, jerky movements<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Primary Challenge<\/strong><\/td><td>Controlling voluntary movement<\/td><td>Muscle tightness restricting range of motion<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Common Cause<\/strong><\/td><td>Oxygen deprivation (HIE), untreated jaundice (kernicterus)<\/td><td>Oxygen deprivation, brain hemorrhage<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child has been diagnosed with athetoid cerebral palsy or is showing signs of athetosis, the diagnosis itself may point to a specific type of brain injury that occurred during or shortly after birth. A <strong>Texas athetosis malpractice lawyer<\/strong> can help determine whether medical negligence contributed to that injury.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-image.kb-image23729_67ff19-41:not(.kb-specificity-added):not(.kb-extra-specificity-added){margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;}.kb-image23729_67ff19-41

negligence causes athetoid cerebral palsy when healthcare providers fail to manage fetal distress, delay necessary C-sections, or improperly treat neonatal jaundice, leading to basal ganglia damage from oxygen deprivation or bilirubin toxicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many <strong>athetosis malpractice cases<\/strong>, the injury was not inevitable. It was the result of a breakdown in the standard of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common cause of athetoid cerebral palsy is <strong>hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy<\/strong> (HIE), a type of brain damage that occurs when a baby&#8217;s brain is deprived of adequate oxygen and blood flow around the time of birth. HIE is a serious birth injury caused by birth asphyxia. The basal ganglia are particularly vulnerable to this type of oxygen deprivation because they have high metabolic demands, meaning they are among the first brain structures to sustain damage when oxygen levels drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HIE can result from several labor and delivery complications, including placental abruption (when the placenta separates from the uterine wall too early), uterine rupture, and umbilical cord problems such as cord compression or prolapse. When these emergencies occur, providers are expected to recognize the signs quickly and intervene. Failure to do so can lead to prolonged oxygen deprivation and permanent brain injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Labor and Delivery Errors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many <strong>athetosis malpractice claims<\/strong> in Texas involve errors that happen during labor itself. These errors often involve a failure to monitor the baby&#8217;s heart rate. Fetal heart rate monitoring is designed to detect signs of fetal distress, giving the medical team an early warning that the baby is not tolerating labor well. When providers fail to interpret or respond to abnormal fetal monitoring strips, critical minutes pass. Those minutes can make the difference between a healthy outcome and a permanent brain injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common labor and delivery errors that may lead to athetoid cerebral palsy include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Failure to recognize non-reassuring fetal heart rate patterns on the monitor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delaying an emergency C-section when signs of fetal distress are present<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improper administration or dosing of Pitocin, causing excessive uterine contractions that restrict blood flow to the baby<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Misuse of forceps or vacuum extractors, causing mechanical trauma to the infant&#8217;s head and brain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Failure to call for specialist assistance when complications arise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these errors represents a potential breach of the standard of care. A <strong>Texas athetosis malpractice lawyer<\/strong> investigates the timeline of events, minute by minute, to determine whether providers acted within accepted medical standards. An experienced <strong>athetosis injury attorney<\/strong> knows how to identify these subtle lapses in judgment that cause catastrophic harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post-Birth Negligence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The window for preventing or reducing brain damage does not close at delivery. When a baby shows signs of oxygen deprivation at birth, such as low APGAR scores or the need for neonatal resuscitation, the medical team is expected to act immediately. One of the most well-established interventions is <strong>therapeutic hypothermia<\/strong>, a controlled cooling treatment where the baby&#8217;s body temperature is lowered to slow the progression of brain injury. This cooling treatment helps minimize permanent damage to the brain. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK567714\/\">NCBI Bookshelf&#8217;s overview of neonatal therapeutic hypothermia<\/a>, this treatment must be initiated within six hours of birth to be effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When hospitals fail to resuscitate promptly or delay therapeutic hypothermia, the opportunity to reduce the severity of HIE, and potentially prevent athetoid cerebral palsy, can be lost. Our <strong>medical negligence lawyer<\/strong> team reviews NICU records to ensure every protocol was followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Critical Warning: Untreated Jaundice and Kernicterus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all athetoid cerebral palsy cases involve oxygen deprivation during delivery. Some result from a completely separate, and entirely preventable, failure: untreated jaundice. <strong>Kernicterus<\/strong> is the permanent brain damage that occurs when jaundice is left untreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaundice is common in newborns and occurs when bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced by the normal breakdown of red blood cells, builds up in the blood. In most cases, jaundice is mild and resolves with routine monitoring or phototherapy (light treatment). But when bilirubin levels rise dangerously high and go untreated, the toxin crosses the blood-brain barrier and damages basal ganglia tissue. This condition is called kernicterus, a form of permanent brain damage that directly causes severe athetosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kernicterus is considered a &#8220;never event&#8221; in modern medicine because it is entirely preventable with standard bilirubin screening and timely treatment. When a hospital fails to monitor bilirubin levels, discharges a jaundiced newborn without follow-up, or ignores warning signs of rising bilirubin, the resulting brain damage may form the basis of a Texas athetosis malpractice claim. Our attorneys examine hospital discharge protocols, lab results, and nursing records to determine whether the standard of care was met.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-image.kb-image23729_d23655-9e:not(.kb-specificity-added):not(.kb-extra-specificity-added){margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;}.kb-image23729_d23655-9e .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;border-top-left-radius:10px;border-top-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-left-radius:10px;}.kb-image23729_d23655-9e img.kb-img, .kb-image23729_d23655-9e .kb-img img{border-top:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-right:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-bottom:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-left:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-top-left-radius:10px;border-top-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-left-radius:10px;box-shadow:0px 0px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-image23729_d23655-9e img.kb-img, .kb-image23729_d23655-9e .kb-img img{border-top:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-right:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-bottom:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-left:1px solid #f5f5f5;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-image23729_d23655-9e img.kb-img, .kb-image23729_d23655-9e .kb-img img{border-top:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-right:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-bottom:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-left:1px solid #f5f5f5;}}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image23729_d23655-9e\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1370\" height=\"765\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/medical_negligence_causes_athetoid_cerebral_palsy_texas.webp\" alt=\"Process flowchart showing medical negligence pathways including fetal distress and jaundice that can cause basal ganglia injury leading to athetosis for Texas Athetosis Malpractice Lawyer case review.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-23745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/medical_negligence_causes_athetoid_cerebral_palsy_texas.webp 1370w, https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/medical_negligence_causes_athetoid_cerebral_palsy_texas-500x279.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/medical_negligence_causes_athetoid_cerebral_palsy_texas-800x447.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/medical_negligence_causes_athetoid_cerebral_palsy_texas-600x335.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1370px) 100vw, 1370px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<!-- [element-17033] --><style>.kb-row-layout-id17033_bf8005-a5 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id17033_bf8005-a5 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id17033_bf8005-a5 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:1400px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;padding-top:20px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, calc(60% -

Indicators like <strong>low APGAR scores<\/strong>, which measure a newborn&#8217;s heart rate, breathing, muscle tone, reflexes, and skin color at one and five minutes after birth, can be an early signal. Seizures in the first 24 to 72 hours, difficulty feeding, and generalized &#8220;floppiness,&#8221; sometimes called hypotonia, may also indicate basal ganglia damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These early signs do not confirm a diagnosis on their own, but they can be significant medical-legal evidence. In an <strong>athetosis malpractice investigation<\/strong>, our team reviews NICU records and newborn assessments to correlate these early findings with what happened during labor and delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Developing Symptoms (9 to 18 Months)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The involuntary movements that define athetoid cerebral palsy typically become more apparent between 9 and 18 months of age. <strong>Athetosis<\/strong> involves slow, writhing movements of the hands, fingers, feet, or toes. Parents may notice that their child:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Makes slow, writhing movements of the hands, fingers, feet, or toes (athetosis)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exhibits sudden, jerky, unpredictable movements (chorea, which refers to rapid, irregular, involuntary motion)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Holds their body in unusual, twisted postures (dystonia, a condition involving sustained muscle contractions that cause abnormal postures)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Has difficulty grasping toys or bringing objects to their mouth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drools excessively or struggles with swallowing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shows delayed speech or produces speech that is difficult to understand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Misses milestones for sitting, crawling, or walking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Displays muscle tone that fluctuates noticeably, sometimes appearing limp and other times stiff<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child is showing several of these signs, early referral to <strong>physical therapy<\/strong>, <strong>occupational therapy<\/strong>, and <strong>speech therapy<\/strong> is important. Consulting both a pediatric neurologist and a <strong>Texas athetosis malpractice lawyer<\/strong> may help you understand whether a preventable birth injury is the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Role of MRI and Neuroimaging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An MRI is one of the most powerful diagnostic tools for confirming athetoid cerebral palsy and establishing the timing of the brain injury. Specific MRI patterns can distinguish between an acute injury that occurred around the time of birth and a developmental brain malformation that may have formed earlier in pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research published in <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC9032533\/\">PubMed Central on MRI findings in neonatal encephalopathy<\/a> confirms that characteristic imaging patterns, such as injury to the basal ganglia and thalamus, are strongly associated with acute hypoxic-ischemic events during labor and delivery. This type of neuroimaging evidence is often central to an <strong>athetosis malpractice case<\/strong> because it can show, objectively, that the injury occurred during a window when medical intervention could have made a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As your <strong>athetoid movement disorder lawyer<\/strong> will explain, the MRI acts as the &#8220;black box&#8221; of the birth injury. If the scan shows damage to the deep gray matter while sparing other areas, it strongly suggests an acute event at birth: precisely the time when medical negligence often occurs. Our legal team works with neuroradiologists to analyze these findings and connect them to the clinical timeline, a critical step for any <strong>dyskinetic CP attorney<\/strong> building a strong claim.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-image.kb-image23729_391d7a-cb:not(.kb-specificity-added):not(.kb-extra-specificity-added){margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;}.kb-image23729_391d7a-cb .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;border-top-left-radius:10px;border-top-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-left-radius:10px;}.kb-image23729_391d7a-cb img.kb-img, .kb-image23729_391d7a-cb .kb-img img{border-top:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-right:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-bottom:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-left:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-top-left-radius:10px;border-top-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-left-radius:10px;box-shadow:0px 0px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-image23729_391d7a-cb img.kb-img, .kb-image23729_391d7a-cb .kb-img img{border-top:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-right:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-bottom:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-left:1px solid #f5f5f5;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-image23729_391d7a-cb img.kb-img, .kb-image23729_391d7a-cb .kb-img img{border-top:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-right:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-bottom:1px solid #f5f5f5;border-left:1px solid #f5f5f5;}}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image23729_391d7a-cb\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1370\" height=\"765\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/recognizing_signs_athetoid_movement_disorders_texas.webp\" alt=\"Warning checklist of signs of athetosis and dyskinetic cerebral palsy including APGAR clues milestone delays and MRI records for a Texas Athetosis Malpractice Lawyer evaluation.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-23743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/recognizing_signs_athetoid_movement_disorders_texas.webp 1370w, https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/recognizing_signs_athetoid_movement_disorders_texas-500x279.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/recognizing_signs_athetoid_movement_disorders_texas-800x447.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/recognizing_signs_athetoid_movement_disorders_texas-600x335.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1370px) 100vw, 1370px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Securing Compensation for a Lifetime of Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Compensation in athetoid malpractice cases covers past and future medical expenses, assistive devices, home modifications, physical therapy, and non-economic damages for pain, suffering, and physical impairment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compensation provides families with the resources to manage the lifelong medical and developmental needs of a child with athetoid cerebral palsy. <strong>Future medical expenses<\/strong> often represent the largest portion of a recovery because the care needs are permanent. Because athetosis affects a child for their entire life, the financial needs extend decades into the future, and the legal claim must account for every one of those years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The High Cost of Lifelong Care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Children with athetoid cerebral palsy often require around-the-clock care. The involuntary movements and fluctuating muscle tone that define the condition can make daily tasks, from eating to dressing to communicating, extraordinarily difficult without assistance. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.cdc.gov\/www_cdc_gov\/ncbddd\/cp\/data.html\">data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>, the lifetime cost of caring for a person with cerebral palsy can reach well over a million dollars, and that figure may be significantly higher for children with severe dyskinetic forms that require constant support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expenses accumulate across every area of a child&#8217;s life: specialized wheelchairs and seating systems, communication devices, accessible vehicle modifications, and home renovations to accommodate mobility equipment. These are not luxuries. They are the basic tools your child needs to participate in daily life. An <strong>athetosis birth injury lawyer<\/strong> fights to ensure the <strong>verdict<\/strong> or <strong>settlement<\/strong> covers these immense costs. We know that inflation will drive these prices up over the next 50 years, and our financial experts account for that reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building a Life Care Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important components of an <strong>athetosis malpractice case<\/strong> is the <strong>Life Care Plan<\/strong>. This is a detailed, evidence-based document created by medical and financial experts that projects every anticipated need and cost across a child&#8217;s expected lifespan. It accounts for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ongoing physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Future surgeries and medical procedures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prescription medications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>24\/7 attendant care or skilled nursing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Specialized equipment, including power wheelchairs, orthotics, and augmentative communication devices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Home and vehicle modifications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Educational support and vocational planning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inflation adjustments for all projected costs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At Hastings Law Firm, we work closely with Life Care Planners to make sure no future need is overlooked. A <strong>Texas athetosis malpractice lawyer<\/strong> must present a Life Care Plan that reflects the real cost of the child&#8217;s care, not a generalized estimate, because this document often forms the foundation of the damages calculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Non-Economic Damages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the financial costs, compensation in an <strong>athetosis malpractice claim<\/strong> also addresses the human toll. Non-economic damages account for the child&#8217;s loss of enjoyment of life, pain and physical impairment, and the mental anguish experienced by the parents. While these damages are harder to quantify, they represent a real and significant part of what the family has endured and will continue to face. Whether through a negotiated <strong>settlement<\/strong> or a jury <strong>verdict<\/strong>, our goal is to secure justice for the intangible losses as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Texas does impose certain limits on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases, which makes it even more important that economic damages, the measurable costs of care, are documented thoroughly and accurately by your <strong>medical negligence lawyer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- [element-17245]

Many thanks go out to Tommy and his great team!<\/p><\/div><!-- testimonial-content --><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-row wpmtst-testimonial-row--custom-2 testimonial-row testimonial-row--custom-2\"><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-image testimonial-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/google-review-logo-75x75.png\" class=\"attachment-widget-thumbnail size-widget-thumbnail\" alt=\"The Google logo for online reviews of a law firm.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/google-review-logo-75x75.png 75w, https:\/\/www.hastingsfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/google-review-logo.png 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 75px) 100vw, 75px\" \/><\/div><div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-field testimonial-field \"><span class=\"strong-rating-wrapper in-view\"><span class=\"strong-rating\"><span class=\"star\" style=\"display: none;\"><\/span><span class=\"star\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><svg class=\"star_solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"-8 -8 584 520\"><path d=\"M259.3 17.8L194 150.2 47.9 171.5c-26.2 3.8-36.7 36.1-17.7 54.6l105.7 103-25 145.5c-4.5 26.3 23.2 46 46.4 33.7L288 439.6l130.7 68.7c23.2 12.2 50.9-7.4 46.4-33.7l-25-145.5 105.7-103c19-18.5 8.5-50.8-17.7-54.6L382 150.2 316.7 17.8c-11.7-23.6-45.6-23.9-57.4 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"star\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><svg class=\"star_solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"-8 -8 584 520\"><path d=\"M259.3 17.8L194 150.2 47.9 171.5c-26.2 3.8-36.7 36.1-17.7 54.6l105.7 103-25 145.5c-4.5 26.3 23.2 46 46.4 33.7L288 439.6l130.7 68.7c23.2 12.2 50.9-7.4 46.4-33.7l-25-145.5 105.7-103c19-18.5 8.5-50.8-17.7-54.6L382 150.2 316.7 17.8c-11.7-23.6-45.6-23.9-57.4 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"star\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><svg class=\"star_solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"-8 -8 584 520\"><path d=\"M259.3 17.8L194 150.2 47.9 171.5c-26.2 3.8-36.7 36.1-17.7 54.6l105.7 103-25 145.5c-4.5 26.3 23.2 46 46.4 33.7L288 439.6l130.7 68.7c23.2 12.2 50.9-7.4 46.4-33.7l-25-145.5 105.7-103c19-18.5 8.5-50.8-17.7-54.6L382 150.2 316.7 17.8c-11.7-23.6-45.6-23.9-57.4 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"star\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><svg class=\"star_solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"-8 -8 584 520\"><path d=\"M259.3 17.8L194 150.2 47.9 171.5c-26.2 3.8-36.7 36.1-17.7 54.6l105.7 103-25 145.5c-4.5 26.3 23.2 46 46.4 33.7L288 439.6l130.7 68.7c23.2 12.2 50.9-7.4 46.4-33.7l-25-145.5 105.7-103c19-18.5 8.5-50.8-17.7-54.6L382 150.2 316.7 17.8c-11.7-23.6-45.6-23.9-57.4 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"star\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><svg class=\"star_solid\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"-8 -8 584 520\"><path d=\"M259.3 17.8L194 150.2 47.9 171.5c-26.2 3.8-36.7 36.1-17.7 54.6l105.7 103-25 145.5c-4.5 26.3 23.2 46 46.4 33.7L288 439.6l130.7 68.7c23.2 12.2 50.9-7.4 46.4-33.7l-25-145.5 105.7-103c19-18.5 8.5-50.8-17.7-54.6L382 150.2 316.7 17.8c-11.7-23.6-45.6-23.9-57.4 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-field testimonial-field testimonial-name\">Devin Schumacher <\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-field testimonial-field \">Google<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-row wpmtst-testimonial-row--custom-1 testimonial-row testimonial-row--custom-1\"><\/div><!-- testimonial-row --><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial testimonial t-slide post-3186\"><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-inner testimonial-inner\"><div class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-content testimonial-content\"><h3 class=\"wpmtst-testimonial-heading testimonial-heading\">Takes the Hard Cases<\/h3><p>Tommy is a great guy, genuinely concerned about his clients.

TESTIMONIALS<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/aside><!-- [\/element-17245] -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Our Texas Attorneys Establish Liability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Establishing liability requires proving a provider-patient relationship existed, the medical professional breached the accepted standard of care, and this breach directly caused the child&#8217;s athetoid brain injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Establishing liability<\/strong> involves a complex review of medical records to determine how a provider&#8217;s actions deviated from the accepted standard of care. Each element must be supported by medical evidence and expert analysis. This is the core work of a <strong>Texas athetosis malpractice lawyer<\/strong>, and it demands a team with both legal experience and deep medical knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Investigation: Gathering the Evidence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in any <strong>athetosis malpractice case<\/strong> is a thorough investigation. Our team collects and reviews the complete medical record, including prenatal charts, labor and delivery records, fetal monitoring strips, nursing notes, NICU logs, and discharge summaries. We build a minute-by-minute timeline of what happened before, during, and after delivery to determine if the standard of care was met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK589699\/\">NCBI Bookshelf&#8217;s overview of fetal monitoring<\/a>, electronic fetal heart rate monitoring is the standard method for assessing fetal well-being during labor. The data captured on those monitoring strips can reveal whether signs of fetal distress were present, how long they persisted, and whether providers responded appropriately. These strips are often the single most important piece of evidence in a birth injury case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expert Medical Review<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the records are assembled, we work with qualified medical experts, including board-certified OBGYNs, neonatologists, and neuroradiologists, to evaluate whether the <strong>standard of care<\/strong> was met. The standard of care is the level of treatment that a reasonably competent healthcare professional would have provided under similar circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our experts analyze the clinical decisions that were made and identify where the care fell short. They review MRI findings to confirm the location and timing of the brain injury to the basal ganglia, the area of the brain that controls motor coordination and is characteristically damaged in athetoid cerebral palsy cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proving Causation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Establishing that negligence occurred is not enough on its own. We must also prove causation, meaning the breach of the standard of care directly led to the child&#8217;s athetoid brain injury. <strong>Proving causation<\/strong> connects the medical error to the physical injury sustained by the patient. As the patient, the burden is on the family to prove this link. We use an expert witness to rule out other potential causes, such as genetic conditions, congenital infections, or metabolic disorders, and demonstrate that the preventable medical error was the primary factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our in-house medical staff, which includes nurse practitioners and Board Certified Patient Advocates, assists in interpreting clinical data. This collaboration allows a <strong>Texas athetosis malpractice lawyer<\/strong> at our firm to build cases that hold up under scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepared for Trial from Day One<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At Hastings Law Firm, we prepare every <strong>athetosis malpractice case<\/strong> as if it will go before a jury. This trial-ready approach means that from the initial investigation through expert depositions and discovery, every element of the case is built to withstand the challenges that defense attorneys and hospital systems will raise. Our team includes former defense counsel who previously represented hospitals, giving us direct insight into the strategies the other side will use. This level of preparation positions us to negotiate from a place of strength and, when necessary, present a compelling case at trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Texas Statute of Limitations for Birth Injury Claims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Texas, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice is generally two years, but for birth injuries involving minors under 12, the statute is tolled, allowing parents to file a claim on behalf of the child until their 14th birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This legal deadline dictates how much time a family has to file a claim after a birth injury occurs. The <strong>statute of limitations<\/strong> sets a strict deadline for when a legal claim must be filed. This tolling provision, found in <a href=\"https:\/\/statutes.capitol.texas.gov\/Docs\/CP\/htm\/CP.74.htm\">Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 74<\/a>, gives families additional time to identify and pursue a claim. Many parents do not realize their child&#8217;s athetoid cerebral palsy may be linked to medical negligence until the child begins missing developmental milestones months or even years after birth. The extended deadline acknowledges that reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there is a critical limitation that families should be aware of. Texas also imposes a statute of repose, which acts as an absolute outer deadline. Under this rule, a medical malpractice claim must generally be filed within 10 years of the date of the negligent act or omission, regardless of when the injury was discovered or diagnosed. The statute of repose cannot be extended, even for minors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when the legal deadlines allow more time, waiting can weaken a case. Medical records can be lost or destroyed after retention periods expire. Witnesses move, retire, or forget details. Fetal monitoring strips may be stored on outdated systems that become inaccessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>Texas athetosis malpractice lawyer<\/strong> will tell you that the sooner an investigation begins, the stronger the evidence will be. Parents should act quickly to engage an <strong>athetosis injury attorney<\/strong> to interview nurses and doctors while events are fresh. Contacting a <strong>dyskinetic cerebral palsy lawyer<\/strong> immediately ensures your rights are protected before any clocks run out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child has been diagnosed with athetoid cerebral palsy and you suspect medical negligence may have been involved, consulting with an experienced <strong>Texas athetosis malpractice lawyer<\/strong> early protects your ability to file a claim and preserves the evidence needed to support it.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23729_1f14ab-85, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23729_1f14ab-85[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading23729_1f14ab-85\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23729_1f14ab-85 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23729_1f14ab-85[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading23729_1f14ab-85\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23729_1f14ab-85 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading23729_1f14ab-85[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading23729_1f14ab-85\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading23729_1f14ab-85 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading23729_1f14ab-85\" data-alt-title=\"Contact Hastings Law Firm\">Contact the Texas Birth Injury Attorneys at Hastings Law Firm Today for Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You do not have to accept &#8220;it just happened&#8221; as an answer.

data-alt-title=\"Glossary of Terms\">Key Athetosis Malpractice Terms:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<dl class=\"glossary\">\n  <dt id=\"term-athetosis\">Athetosis<\/dt>\n  <dd>A movement disorder characterized by slow, involuntary, writhing motions caused by fluctuating muscle tone. In medical malpractice cases, athetosis typically results from damage to deep brain structures during or shortly after birth, often due to oxygen deprivation or untreated jaundice. Children with athetosis may have difficulty controlling their arms, legs, hands, and facial muscles, affecting their ability to eat, speak, and perform daily activities.<\/dd>\n  <dt id=\"term-dyskinetic-cerebral-palsy\">Dyskinetic cerebral palsy (athetoid cerebral palsy)<\/dt>\n  <dd>A type of cerebral palsy marked by involuntary, uncontrolled movements and fluctuating muscle tone. Unlike spastic cerebral palsy (which causes stiff, rigid muscles), dyskinetic cerebral palsy produces twisting, repetitive motions that the child cannot stop. In malpractice claims, this condition is often linked to preventable birth injuries such as oxygen deprivation or failure to treat severe newborn jaundice.<\/dd>\n  <dt id=\"term-hypoxic-ischemic-encephalopathy\">Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)<\/dt>\n  <dd>A type of brain injury caused by insufficient oxygen and blood flow to a newborn&#8217;s brain during labor, delivery, or immediately after birth. HIE can damage the basal ganglia, leading to movement disorders like athetosis. In medical negligence cases, HIE often results from failures to recognize fetal distress, delayed emergency cesarean sections, or improper management of labor complications.<\/dd>\n  <dt id=\"term-therapeutic-hypothermia\">Therapeutic hypothermia<\/dt>\n  <dd>A medical treatment that involves cooling a newborn&#8217;s body temperature to reduce brain damage following oxygen deprivation at birth. This therapy must be started within six hours of the injury to be effective. In malpractice cases, failure to promptly recognize signs of brain injury and initiate therapeutic hypothermia can constitute negligence, potentially leading to permanent disabilities like athetoid cerebral palsy.<\/dd>\n  <dt id=\"term-kernicterus\">Kernicterus<\/dt>\n  <dd>A severe form of brain damage caused by extremely high levels of bilirubin (a yellow pigment from the breakdown of red blood cells) in a newborn&#8217;s bloodstream. When jaundice goes untreated, bilirubin can accumulate and penetrate the basal ganglia, causing athetosis and other permanent neurological injuries. In malpractice claims, kernicterus is often considered preventable through proper monitoring and timely treatment of newborn jaundice.<\/dd>\n  <dt id=\"term-bilirubin\">Bilirubin<\/dt>\n  <dd>A yellow substance produced when the body breaks down old red blood cells. In newborns, high bilirubin levels cause jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes). If bilirubin levels become dangerously elevated and are not treated promptly with phototherapy or other interventions, the substance can damage the brain and cause kernicterus, leading to athetoid cerebral palsy. Medical providers have a duty to monitor and manage bilirubin levels in newborns.<\/dd>\n  <dt id=\"term-chorea\">Chorea<\/dt>\n  <dd>A movement disorder characterized by rapid, irregular, jerky motions that appear to flow randomly from one body part to another. Chorea can occur alongside athetosis in children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy. In the context of medical malpractice, recognizing chorea as a sign of brain injury helps establish the timing and cause of the neurological damage.<\/dd>\n  <dt id=\"term-dystonia\">Dystonia<\/dt>\n  <dd>A movement disorder involving sustained or repetitive muscle contractions that cause twisting movements and abnormal postures. Children with athetoid cerebral palsy often experience dystonia, which can affect their ability to sit, stand, or use their hands. In malpractice cases, dystonia serves as evidence of basal ganglia injury, which may have resulted from preventable birth complications.<\/dd>\n  <dt id=\"term-basal-ganglia\">Basal ganglia<\/dt>\n  <dd>A group of structures deep within the brain that control voluntary movement, muscle tone, and coordination. The basal ganglia are particularly vulnerable to oxygen deprivation and high bilirubin levels during the newborn period. Damage to these structures causes the involuntary movements seen in athetoid cerebral palsy. In medical negligence cases, imaging studies showing basal ganglia injury help prove that the disability resulted from a preventable birth complication rather than a genetic condition.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"DefinedTermSet\",\n  \"name\": \"Glossary: Athetosis, Cerebral Palsy & Birth Injury Malpractice Terms\",\n  \"hasDefinedTerm\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"DefinedTerm\",\n      \"name\": \"Athetosis\",\n      \"description\": \"A movement disorder characterized by slow, involuntary, writhing motions caused by fluctuating muscle tone.
