Medical Malpractice settlement for child with cerebral palsy

A doctor and hospital failed to put the safety of a young first time mother and her baby first by ignoring warning signs of fetal distress failing to assess the condition of both mom and baby.  Because of this, the full term otherwise healthy baby was not delivered until after suffering perinatal ashyxia - a lack of oxygen to the brain that caused irreversible brain damage.  The child was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopaty and global developmental delay and cannot walk, talk or care for herself.

The settlement, reached during litigation with the hospital and physician, is confidential. 

Awarded: Confidential
