Fort Lauderdale Cerebral Palsy Attorney
South Florida Cerebral Palsy Lawyer
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a condition involving inhibited motor coordination due to damage to the motor control centers in the affected person’s brain. Not only can cerebral palsy affect physical coordination, it can also affect communication, mental cognition, sensation, perception (blindness occurs in over 10% of CP cases) and can cause seizures and other medical issues throughout the duration of the child’s life.
Unfortunately, many cerebral palsy cases are caused by medical negligence resulting in injury to the brain during birth. As a new parent or pregnant mother, it is your right to receive medical care that is up to the proper health care standards. When you trust your life and the life of your child to the skilled treatment of a physician, surgeon, obstetrician or other medical professional, you don’t expect that they will treat you and your unborn child with negligence, dangerous behavior or irresponsible treatment. If your child suffered a brain injury during delivery resulting in cerebral palsy, you could have a case against the negligent party.
