A birth injury case has reportedly resulted in a $12.6 million award for the parents whose child suffered severe brain damage. According to reports, the doctor knew at the end of the pregnancy that the baby was breech. However, the midwife on the pregnancy allegedly did not order an emergency cesarean section which ended up being delayed until the next week. The midwife did not consult the doctor on this decision which caused the pregnancy to be high-risk. She was found negligent in her care of the child who suffered injuries as a result.
