$4.75 Million Settlement for Cerebral Palsy
Our client, a 6-year-old girl, sustained brain damage at birth due to medical malpractice. The child's mother had gone to the hospital on May 15, 2001. She was admitted and placed on a fetal monitor. Over the course of three days, the monitor showed signs of fetal distress and abrupted placenta. Doctors initially scheduled the patient for a Cesarean section, but for reasons no one could explain, cancelled it. On the third day at the hospital, a Cesarean section was finally performed. The infant was born with poor response and breathing and spent three weeks in the ICU. The child was eventually diagnosed with neurological damage. The child is now 6-years-old, walks with braces, cannot hear without using a hearing aide and has a very limited vocabulary. The settlement money will pay $37 million over the course of the child's life.
$3 Million Settlement for Cerebral Palsy
Our client, a newborn, was born neurologically damaged at birth. The child's mother came to the hospital complaining of not feeling the baby and bleeding. Doctors at the hospital placed her on a monitor but failed to detect any abnormalities with the infant. The child was born 12 days later and at birth could not breathe. Tests were performed which revealed that the child had suffered a brain bleed while in utero. The child was transferred to New York Hospital for further treatment. Our client, now 7-years-old, cannot walk or talk and has to be fed through a tube. The child will receive $29 million from the settlement over the course of her life.
