Cerebral Palsy Lawyer in West Palm Beach, Florida
Do I Have a Cerebral Palsy Compensation Claim?
Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disorder affecting babies and children, occurring in up to 4 of each 1000 births in the U.S. Many of these cases are directly caused by preventable medical error and neglect. If your child developed cerebral palsy because of medical negligence, those at fault should be held responsible for the pain, suffering, and medical expenses your family have incurred.
If you need a Florida cerebral palsy lawyer, our experienced medical malpractice attorneys are here for you.
Maximizing Your Cerebral Palsy Settlement
If cerebral palsy has no cure, what can I gain from filing a claim? When dealing with the devastation you currently face, you might feel that the last thing you want is a costly or complicated legal battle. Though understandable, there are many reasons why going after a fair cerebral palsy settlement is in your best interest.
- Compensation to Aid Adjustment: If your child suffers from CP, having help with the resulting financial strain can be important to ensure that your child gets the care they need. This can include things like special equipment, coverage for lifelong medical expenses, special education funds, and even psychological counseling services for the whole family
- Promotion of Medical Accountability: When a child is injured because of the negligence of a medical professional, that person or entity shouldn’t walk away without any repercussions. By pursuing a cerebral palsy settlement, you are not only holding the at-fault parties accountable but also helping to prevent others from suffering at their hands.
