Case Details

A 2-year-old Omaha girl received a record $17 million verdict in federal court because she suffered brain damage during her labor and delivery at Bellevue Medical Center. Medical professionals were accused of not providing the right care, failing to determine the baby's position or measure the mother's contractions, leading to oxygen deprivation and brain damage.

Additional Notes

The girl cannot walk or talk and has bad vision. The money will be used for physical therapy, occupational therapy, medical care, equipment, and other services for the rest of her life. The verdict challenged the state's $2.25 million medical malpractice cap.
