Brain Injury Caused By Epidural During Cesarean Section Settled For $1.45 Million

Our client was a young mother who went to the hospital for an elective cesarean section. She was given a spinal-epidural anesthesic prior to her her surgery and a epidural anesthetic following surgery. In response to the anesthetics, our client developed signs and symptoms of respiratory distress. These signs and symptoms were not recognized by the health care providers caring for our client. Ultimately, the anesthesia caused our client to stop breathing and her heart to stop. While she was ultimately resusicaited, she suffered an anoxic brain injury due to the delay in treating her respiratory distress. At the time of the settlement, Virginia has a statutory cap of $1.5 million.
