Jury awards $19.6M to injured baby and mother for injuries during delivery
The title to this blog will take the reader to a story in Newsday online about this recent medical negligence verdict. Cesaerean sections are apparently so common and have been virtually perfected in todays medicine; it is amazing that physicians sometimes ignore the necessity to move forward with performing one in order to avoid this kind of devastating injury. While the verdict amount seems extremely high at first glance, considering what it will take to care for this child, who now suffers from debilitating cerebral palsy, such a verdict is not unreasonable. The high cost of medical care warrants large economic damages in medical malpractice birth injury cases like this. If your child suffered any kind of birth injury or other medical injury during delivery or otherwise, consider having an attorney review your case; particularly if you are struggling financially to give care for the resulting injuries. You may be entitled to compensation. Many cases do not warrant taking legal action, but I can help you make the determination whether legal action is warranted. You can contact my office by calling Toll Free, 888-435-7156. We can arrange to meet for a free consultation in any of our three North Carolina law offices (Fayetteville, Raleigh or Wilmington).Read More about "Jury awards $19.6M to injured baby and mother for injuries during delivery"
