Cerebral palsy is one of the most common long-term conditions linked to birth injuries. For families in Orlando, learning that a newborn has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy can feel overwhelming. This condition, which affects muscle control, movement, and coordination, is often tied to oxygen deprivation or medical negligence during labor and delivery.
Doctors and nurses are expected to monitor the baby’s vital signs, respond to complications quickly, and use proper delivery techniques. When mistakes occur—such as failing to recognize fetal distress or mishandling the use of forceps—the results can leave a child with lifelong challenges. Cerebral palsy often requires ongoing medical care, therapy, and educational support.
In Florida, parents may be entitled to compensation if negligence played a role. Financial recovery can cover medical bills, specialized equipment, in-home care, and even future lost earning capacity. While money cannot erase the diagnosis, it can provide security and access to the best care possible.
