Cerebral Palsy Lawyer
Serving Central Florida including Winter Garden, Apopka, Clermont, Inverness, and Leesburg
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a condition that affects the brain, and ultimately, bodily movement and motor control. In severe cases, even the simplest activities, like walking or talking, can be difficult. Children with Cerebral Palsy have trouble relaxing certain muscles, and may have trouble with balance and coordination. Depending on the child and the degree of damage, CP can severely limit a child for an entire lifetime.
Cerebral Palsy is caused by damage to the part of the brain that regulates movement and motor control. Many cases of CP result from physical mishandling during labor and delivery. At Cressman Law Firm, we go after physicians and staff members whose errors in judgment leave children and families facing the unthinkable. The fact is that many cases of Cerebral Palsy are preventable, and unless we hold these medical professionals accountable, newborns will continue to face this life-threatening risk.
It is an extremely painful process for parents to watch their child and wonder each day, “How much will CP affect my baby?” You take it day by day, give your child all the love you can, and hope for the best. The extent of care can range from a neurologist, pediatric orthopedist, pediatrician, psychiatrist, and many other specialists. Attorney Mark P. Cressman and his legal team work to make each day easier by getting you the monetary compensation you need to care for your child in the short- and long-term.
If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy and you suspect medical malpractice, please contact our central Florida attorney right away. Your first visit with us is free, and we’ll come to your home or hospital.
