A:
There are three main causes of cerebral palsy, a type of
Florida birth injury:
- Bleeding in the brain (often caused by infection)
- Developmental delay in the brain
- Trauma or blunt force to the brain
While these are the root causes that result in cerebral palsy, there are often other causes that contribute to this damaging and permanent condition in an infant. In fact, negligent medical professionals who either fail to recognize symptoms of cerebral palsy or cause a damaging trauma during birth can be held liable.
If your new child has suffered cerebral palsy, and your family is struggling to cope with the sobering results, you may be eligible to recover damages from the doctors or nurses responsible. This can come in the form of a personal injury suit resulting in a settlement or jury verdict.
