Negligent Medical Professionals Cause Many Instances of Cerebral Palsy in Florida

Cerebral palsy is a devastating type of Florida birth injury. The harmful symptoms of cerebral palsy, which may include spasms, seizures, difficulty sleeping and chronic pain are always long-lasting and permanent.

Cerebral palsy is a deficiency of motor skills in an infant, which leads to these undesirable outcomes. There are numerous possible causes for cerebral palsy as a Florida birth injury which include:

• Infection
• Bleeding in the brain
• Developmental delay
• Trauma to the brain

No matter what the root cause of cerebral palsy, medical professionals responsible for the health and safety of your newborn child are likely to be found partially liable for the injury.

If a doctor or nurse did not recognize the first symptoms of cerebral palsy and take appropriate preventative actions, or even worse, if they caused the trauma that resulted in the injury through the misuse of force during delivery, your family may be able to hold them liable for the damages.

Having a child with cerebral palsy can be expensive on many levels. Not only are there medical bills and ongoing therapy to contend with, but also lost wages and permanent disabilities. This is even before the very real instances of pain or emotional suffering.
