One case in 2018 involved a delayed C-section, with the child later diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The parent sued the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for medical negligence that led to her son’s severe brain injuries. As a result, a jury awarded the family $183 million in damages, which was the largest verdict in Pennsylvania to date.
Another example of negligence arose between an Illinois family and the Sarah Bush Lincoln Center. In this case, a child suffered brain damage after the mother’s placental separation restricted oxygen to the baby. The nurses on duty failed to take action when they needed to, which led to mild cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and seizures. The family took the case to court and got $40 million in damages.
In another case, a doctor used forceps during delivery without the mother’s consent. The excessive pulling caused the infant’s brain to separate from the spinal cord, ultimately leading to the baby’s death 14 days later. Our own team developed a strong case with the help of medical experts, witnesses, and an economist to determine the total financial loss to the parents. Before the trial date, our attorneys secured a significant confidential settlement for our clients.
If your baby suffered a birth injury caused by medical malpractice, your family may be entitled to recover both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are financial losses caused by the injury. Non-economic damages are the non-tangible ways you have suffered. Among other things, you may receive compensation for things like:
The specific amount you can claim will depend on the severity of the birth injury and the extent of your damages. Working with our experienced Jackson, MS, birth injury attorneys can help your family pursue fair compensation for your child.
