Birth Injury Case Settles for $9.5 Million

A medical malpractice birth injury case has settled for $9.5 million for a boy who was born with cerebral palsy. A hospital, nurse midwife and obstetrician will be paying in the case. When the boy was being delivered, the nurse midwife failed to call the backup physician when the child was showing signs of distress. Instead, she used a procedure that compromised his health and well-being. The child suffered from a lack of oxygen that resulted in cerebral palsy.
