How Our Cerebral Palsy Attorney Handles St. Petersburg Birth Injury Cases
Birth injuries are a special type of medical malpractice case that involves serious injuries to infants just before, during, or shortly after birth. Cerebral palsy is a common birth injury, and our attorneys make this type of injury a focus of our practice.
Cerebral palsy can occur because of medical malpractice in numerous ways. Doctors must provide adequate care, monitoring, diagnostic checks, and treatment for any health concern. Causes of cerebral palsy could include:
- Brain bleeds
- Stroke
- Umbilical cord issues
- Getting stuck during delivery
- Other causes of oxygen deprivation before, during, or just after birth
In general, we find that doctors and other care providers sometimes offer inadequate screening and fail to provide proactive care to prevent these complications. When this occurs, we can hold them accountable and get justice for you and your child.
We handle every step of these cases, allowing you to focus on your child and your family. Meanwhile, we will:
- Provide advice and support
- Manage all communication about your case
- Document your family’s damages and future care costs
- Calculate a possible settlement range
- Gather evidence to support the case
- Consult with medical professionals and other experts
- Negotiate a settlement or file a lawsuit against the liable parties
- Take your case to trial when necessary
