In a landmark case, a family received a $43,940,000 verdict following a tragic birth injury caused by hospital negligence. The child, born with permanent brain damage and cerebral palsy, suffered from a lack of oxygen to the brain after the hospital failed to appropriately and expeditiously diagnose fetal distress during labor. This delay, coupled with the failure to promptly perform a cesarean section, led to irreversible harm.
Despite the defense’s claim that the child’s injuries were due to prematurity and that obstetrical care was appropriate, the jury determined that the delay in delivering the baby was the critical factor in the injury.
This significant verdict was achieved through collaboration with another firm, demonstrating our firm’s dedication to pursuing justice on behalf of families. While the verdict was later reduced on appeal to $7,400,000 because the verdict was so large, this case underscores the vital importance of timely medical intervention in childbirth.
