Settlement: $2 million
My client was a young girl born with cerebral palsy due to lack of oxygen at birth. The suit was against the mother’s obstetrician for inappropriate management of a pregnancy, resulting in a prolapsed umbilical cord, which cut off the supply of oxygen to the child.
Settlement: $2.75 million
My client was a woman in her 50s who suffered a heart attack and brain injury due to a drug overdose.
