A family in the Omaha, Nebraska area is reportedly fighting medical malpractice caps in the area. According to reports, a woman felt like something was wrong with her child when the doctor told her everything was fine. However, it was later found that her child was in significant stress while she was pregnant with him. He later suffered brain injury as a result. They were awarded a medical malpractice settlement of $5.6 million for the injuries, but that was capped at $1.25 million although the child will need a lifetime of care.
