Case Details
A Jefferson County state court jury awarded a Birmingham couple $16 million in damages after finding that Brookwood Medical Center violated the standard of care for labor and delivery and participated in reckless fraud. The mother, Caroline Malatesta, suffered painful and debilitating physical injuries during a 'natural childbirth' experience where she was restrained and offered no choice.
