Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is a condition caused by brain damage that affects movement, muscle control and posture. This often occurs due to oxygen deprivation or trauma during delivery. Symptoms of cerebral palsy include delayed or weakened motor skills, uncontrollable movements and problems with coordination, speech difficulties, urinary incontinence and intellectual disabilities.
Families raising children with cerebral palsy face significant emotional and financial challenges that will last a lifetime.
Some common causes of cerebral palsy include:
- Delayed C-section
- Improper use of delivery tools
- Failure to monitor fetal distress
If your child’s cerebral palsy was preventable, we can help you seek the compensation you need for your child’s ongoing needs.
Erb’s Palsy
Erb’s palsy results from damage to the brachial plexus nerves during childbirth, often due to excessive force or improper use of forceps and suction device delivery instruments. This condition can cause:
- Weakness of the affected limb
- Loss of mobility or paralysis
- Permanent nerve damage
- Reduced grip strength
- Limited range of motion
- Numbness and tingling
Our team understands the challenges families face when dealing with Erb’s palsy. We investigate the circumstances surrounding your child’s injury, holding negligent medical providers accountable.
Infant Death And Maternal Death
Birth injuries can have the gravest consequences, resulting in infant or maternal death. These tragedies are often preventable and may arise from:
- Failure to perform timely C-sections
- Inadequate monitoring of vital signs
- Improper handling of post-birth complications
- Failure to monitor for infections, including sepsis
At Ford, Dean & Rotundo, P.A., we are here to support families in these heartbreaking situations and help you obtain the financial means to stabilize your future.
