Case Details

Client Kailey Watson suffered profound brain injury, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and mental retardation due to oxygen deprivation during birth caused by hospital staff misreading fetal heart monitor data and failing to intervene with a C-section. This was the largest Medical Malpractice verdict ever in the history of Gwinnett County.

Additional Notes

Jury awarded $13,946,215. The nurse midwife settled before the trial. The jury returned a defense verdict for the two nurses but awarded Kailey’s family against the hospital. Approximately 46 times the highest offer by the Defendant to settle the case pre-trial.
