Case Details

A Douglas County jury compensated Chaylee Bentzinger-Hill, a 3-year-old Omaha girl, for injuries suffered at birth. Chaylee's left arm is effectively paralyzed after she suffered ripped and ruptured nerves during her delivery in June of 2008. The mother's obstetrician, Dr. Ann Sjulin, made critical mistakes during delivery, including improperly dealing with shoulder dystocia.

Additional Notes

Jury compensated slightly more than $1.2 million for past and future medical bills and decreased wages, and $600,000 for pain and suffering. The entire amount, except $5,000 for parents, was directed to the child.
