Ataxic Cerebral Palsy
Experienced Legal Help for Families Dealing with Ataxic Cerebral Palsy in Pennsylvania
If your child has been diagnosed with ataxic cerebral palsy, you know the challenges ahead can be overwhelming. While some cases of ataxic cerebral palsy are unavoidable, there are instances where medical negligence during pregnancy, delivery, or prenatal care may have contributed to this condition. At Latona Law, our experienced attorneys are dedicated to helping families navigate these complex situations and seek the compensation they deserve.
Signs that negligence may have played a role include a lack of oxygen at birth, delayed responses to fetal distress, untreated infections during pregnancy, or errors in the use of delivery tools such as forceps or vacuum extractors. Children with ataxic cerebral palsy often exhibit symptoms like poor balance, shaky movements, and difficulty with precise motor tasks — and when these issues are linked to birth complications, it’s important to investigate whether better medical care could have prevented the outcome.
At Latona Law, we understand that pursuing a legal claim can feel overwhelming during an already difficult time. Our team is committed to providing compassionate guidance every step of the way, working with medical experts to uncover the truth and aggressively pursuing the financial support needed to help your child thrive.

Understanding Ataxic Cerebral Palsy
Ataxic cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for coordination and balance. Although it is the least common type of cerebral palsy, it can be particularly devastating when caused by medical errors. Identifying the link between medical negligence and ataxic cerebral palsy often requires a detailed investigation of the care provided before, during, and after birth.

Medical Mistakes and Cerebral Palsy
Medical negligence during childbirth can lead to permanent brain damage, resulting in conditions like ataxic cerebral palsy. Doctors and nurses must follow proper procedures and maintain high standards of care to prevent such outcomes. When these standards are not met, and medical errors occur, it can have life-altering consequences for the child and family.
