A Florida Cerebral Palsy Attorney Will Be An Expert In Medical Negligence Claims

 

A Florida cerebral palsy attorney can advise parents on the legal recourse available if there are signs that indicate a doctor or nurse made a mistake that could have caused brain damage in their child.  The causes of cerebral palsy are multiple and complex but sometimes preventable.  One cause is lack of oxygen during birth.  This can occur for a number of reasons.

 

A Florida cerebral palsy attorney may work on a contingency basis, taking payment as a percentage of any compensation awarded.  Settlement amounts vary but have been thousands of dollars in the past.  Symptoms may be mild and barely noticeable or extreme.  Children with severe cerebral palsy may be confined to a wheelchair and require 24 hours care.  They may be entitled to lifetime benefits.
