Pursuing Justice for Cerebral Palsy Victims in Miami
Cerebral palsy cases are among the most complex legal claims to pursue in the medical malpractice field. Families seeking justice must prove not only that medical negligence occurred but also that the negligence directly caused their child’s condition.
This requires expert medical testimony, an in-depth understanding of medical records, and a thorough grasp of malpractice law. For families already navigating the immense challenges of raising a child with cerebral palsy, facing a legal battle of this magnitude alone can feel impossible.
Having an experienced legal team by your side is essential. Our attorneys have handled many medical negligence claims and have developed the resources needed to challenge the insurance companies that defend them.
We prepare every case for trial to give you the best possible chance of a favorable negotiation outcome. Should your case go to civil court, our meticulous legal groundwork puts us ahead of the game; it enables us to aggressively fight for your child and pursue full and fair compensation.
Common Causes of Cerebral Palsy Due to Medical Negligence
While natural factors sometimes cause cerebral palsy, preventable medical errors during pregnancy, labor, and delivery contribute to many cases. These mistakes can lead to severe brain injuries that result in the condition.
Common examples of negligence include:
Oxygen deprivation (Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy). A delayed response to signs of fetal distress, placental issues, or umbilical cord complications reduces oxygen flow to the baby’s brain, which can cause irreversible damage.
Delayed C-sections. When an emergency cesarean section is not performed in time, it can lead to prolonged distress and injury for both the mother and child.
Improper use of delivery tools. Misuse of forceps or vacuum extractors can cause physical trauma to a baby’s head and brain, increasing the risk of cerebral palsy.
Failure to monitor and respond to complications. Mistakes like not identifying infections, preeclampsia, or other maternal conditions that pose risks to the baby can have life-altering consequences.
The Profound Impact on Families
Caring for a child with cerebral palsy is a lifelong commitment that brings unique joys but also heavy emotional, physical, and financial burdens.
Parents of injured children often face the need for:
Continuous specialized care
Physical therapy
Occupational therapy
Speech therapy
Advanced medical equipment
Home modifications
The costs can be staggering, adding to family stress. Beyond the financial strain, parents and siblings must often adjust their lives to meet the challenges of caregiving, which can be isolating and overwhelming without adequate support.
