How an Attorney Can Help
Florida Cerebral Palsy Cases
Birth injuries are all too common, and while some of these injuries cannot be explained, when the cause is clearly the result of medical malpractice, it is essential to engage the services of a competent birth injury lawyer. Cerebral palsy is a somewhat-common condition that most-often results from a mistake during the birthing process. If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, you want to choose an experienced Florida cerebral palsy attorney. Some of the ways in which an attorney can help you pursue legal action in birth injury cases include:
- Investigating the circumstances of the injury to determine probable cause.
- Interviewing those involved in the assessment and diagnosis of cerebral palsy.
- Assessment of the extent of the injuries and how much is related to medical malpractice.
- Assigning a monetary value on the current and ongoing needs of the child with cerebral palsy.
- Negotiate on your behalf with the insurance company or plaintiff’s attorney.
Determination of Compensation
The purpose of filing a medical malpractice lawsuit is not to make the parents of the child rich; the funds are necessary in order to assist the parents in taking care of the child and cover such current and lifetime expenses such as:
- Medical needs
- Necessary medications
- Medical equipment such as wheelchairs, crutches, braces, etc.
- Special school needs
- Modifications to the family home
- Customized motor vehicles for transporting the child
