A major medical malpractice birth injury verdict was reported today for a child who suffered permament brain damage as a result of medical negligence at the time she was born.  The jury found that the physician and hospital were negligent when the baby was stuck in the birth canal for more than 13 hours and failed to take necessary measures for a safe delivery.  The mother had a narrow pelvic arch which doctors should have known would make the delivery difficult.  The suit alleged that the baby suffered brain damage because because it was unable to fit through the narrow opening.  The child, now age 11, is a spastic quadraplegic and will need care and supervision for the rest of her life.

My firm specializes in child and baby injury cases and I often see the tragic consequences on innocent children from all types of traumas, including medical malpractice, lead paint poisoning, and even car accidents.  Settlements in these cases are necessary to provide for the long term care and maintenance of the child, who most likely will be unable to work or earn income for his or her lifetime.  Trust funds are often established with the settlement proceeds for this purpose.
