A jury awarded $5.5 million in damages to a new mother whose son was born with brain damage caused by a failure to perform immediate c-section. The mother was induced, but the fetal heart rate began to drop indicating a lack of oxygen. The hospital and two doctors were found negligent due to a failure to react promptly to the changing fetal vital signs.

A four year old boy was admitted for respiratory illness stemming from pneumonia. Due to the hospitals failure to treat the young boy in a timely manner, he lost his life. His parents filed a medical malpractice suit against the hospital and a jury awarded them $2.1 million for the wrongful death of their son.

A six year old girl went in for a splenectomy. The surgeon used an instrument for which he was not properly trained and caused severe blood loss during the surgery which caused cardiac arrest and lead to permanent brain damage. She is now permanently disabled and confined to a wheelchair.

A medical malpractice law firm representing the parents of an injured newborn entered into a confidential settlement in the amount of $4.5 million. The baby was born with severe brain damage caused by the doctors failure to monitor fetal vital signs. The fetus was deprived of oxygen and required a c-section which was not performed.

A man was admitted to an emergency room and his symptoms were misdiagnosed as a headache. Unfortunately, in reality he was suffering a stroke, and the misdiagnosis left him permanently brain damaged. Of the $216 million verdict, over $100 million was awarded for punitive damages.

After six hours of deliberation, a jury awarded $40 million to the parents of a child suffering cerebral palsy due to mishandling of a difficult birth. The failure of the doctors to immediately perform a c-section upon signs of fetal distress (they waited five hours to deliver) caused permanent brain injury to the child.

A jury awarded $38.5 million to the parents of a child, who due to a failure to timely deliver, suffered serious brain injury and cerebral palsy.

Parents of a teenager who was left to suffer for 15 hours with a twisted bowel that required immediate surgery were awarded $23 million for her wrongful death. In this tragic case, the young teenage girl had to go through 89 surgeries before succumbing to infection two years after the negligent medical treatment.

A man complaining of slurred speech and numbness of his hands was mistreated with a stint in the corticoid artery, which then leaked and caused brain pressure and ultimately brain damage. The standard of care in these cases calls for aspirin and plavix. The unnecessary procedure left the man permanently disabled.
