Case Details

Family awarded $23.1 million in a medical malpractice lawsuit involving a child that suffered permanent brain damage at birth due to initial delay in treatment by hospital staff and a neonatologist.

Additional Notes

The mother chose the hospital due to the presence of a neonatologist for her high-risk pregnancy. Complications arose during delivery, and staff couldn't reach the doctor. The doctor later admitted forgetting his phone/pager. The judge determined the doctor culpable of negligence.
