Percy Martinez Medical Malpractice Lawyers has been named the #1 Cerebral Palsy Birth Injury Lawyer in Miami for 2025, recognized for its work helping families connect early signs of cerebral palsy to events during pregnancy, delivery, and newborn care.
The firm serves as a trusted resource for parents navigating a complex medical and legal landscape. Its guidance helps families compile delivery records, neonatal imaging, therapy evaluations, and developmental milestone notes into a clear, single-page plan that doctors, therapists, and legal teams can use to coordinate care.
Case Results and Compensation in Cerebral Palsy Lawsuits
The firm has secured significant results in birth injury cases involving cerebral palsy. Public examples include:
-
$6.2 million – delayed C-section leading to hypoxic brain injury
-
$4.8 million – failure to respond to fetal distress causing cerebral palsy
-
$2.9 million – untreated newborn jaundice resulting in brain damage
Compensation in these cases often covers lifetime medical care, therapy, special education, home modifications, lost future earnings, and non-economic damages for loss of quality of life.
Timelines for Cerebral Palsy Birth Injury Cases in Florida
Florida birth injury claims follow a specific process, including a presuit investigation and statutory notice before filing.
Typical timeline:
-
6–8 months – record gathering, pediatric neurology review, and expert consultations
-
90 days – presuit notice period
-
18–30 months – litigation, discovery, mediation, and potential trial
Cases involving severe disabilities and multiple defendants may extend beyond three years.
Average Settlement Ranges for Cerebral Palsy Cases
Public Florida cerebral palsy settlements often range from $3 million to over $10 million, depending on injury severity, care needs, and projected lifetime costs.
Standard of Care in Preventing Cerebral Palsy
Obstetricians, nurses, and neonatal staff are expected to:
-
Monitor fetal heart tracings for distress
-
Respond promptly to abnormal labor patterns
-
Provide timely C-sections when indicated
-
Manage oxygen deprivation risks during delivery
-
Ensure immediate newborn resuscitation and stabilization
-
Monitor and treat conditions like jaundice and infections in the neonatal period
The firm’s investigations match each decision in the medical record against these standards, identifying preventable delays and missed interventions.
