Case Details
Jury Verdict for a minor male who sustained permanent brachial plexus nerve injuries in his right arm at birth due to a shoulder dystocia during vaginal delivery. The delivering physician failed to consider the baby's large size despite multiple risk factors, refused a cesarean delivery, and performed an ill-advised forceps delivery with excessive downward traction and allowed fundal pressure.
