Case Details
Parents of a toddler were awarded $4.5 million in a medical malpractice lawsuit against a Palm Beach Gardens clinic. The obstetrician and technician reported the child was healthy during a sonogram, but the child was born without arms and with one leg. The jury found negligence, concluding that had the mistake not been made, the parents would have made different choices. This was the second settlement for the family, who had also reached a private settlement with a local Medical Center.
Additional Notes
