$5 Million Settlement For Infant Who Suffered Severe Brain Injury Due To Delay In Performing C-Section

We represented an infant who suffered a severe brain injury and multi-organ injuries due to the negligence of a mid-wife. During pregnancy, the mother became a high risk labor and delivery. Neverthelss, the mid-wife caring for her prenatally did not consult with an obstetrician to manage the care of the mother's pregnancy. During the labor and delivery process, the mother and infant demonstrated signs of maternal stress and fetal distress. Again, the mid-wife failed to seek the assistance of an obstetrician despite the presence of obstetricians at the hospital. The infant was born pulseless, although she was resuscitated. Due to the compression of the infant's umbilical cord during labor and delivery, the infant was deprived of oxygen ultimating causing her injuries.

Awarded: $5,000,000.00
