Case Details
A medical malpractice settlement in the case of a child born with severe brain injuries. The baby's mother was on active duty in the military and stationed at a fort in Georgia. Her prenatal care was handled by the army medical center, with birth and delivery services contracted out to a nearby hospital. Both the government and the private hospital were named as defendants. The baby was identified as being in distress, yet it took two hours between the time the doctor examined the woman and the time the baby was delivered, leading to severe brain injuries.
Additional Notes
Combined $10.2 million settlement from federal government and private hospital for severe brain injuries to a child due to delayed delivery during labor.
