A child has been awarded in a birth injury lawsuit after forceps used during birth lead to the child suffering from spinal cord injuries.
The child, who is now 10 years old, suffered from catastrophic birth injuries that were determined to be caused by forceps used by the doctor during delivery.
The child suffered a spinal cord injury during birth, which left him paralyzed from the neck down. The child is not able to breathe without the use a ventilator as a result of neurological injuries.
Because of his injuries, the child requires round-the-clock care which costs his parents hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.
The family's birth injury lawsuit was settled out of court, and the family will receive payments from the hospital in which the child was born. The payments will help cover the cost of care that child will require for the rest of his life.
Medical malpractice can lead to injuries during birth, and the results can be devastating. If you believe that you have been a victim of medical malpractice, please contact the Law Offices of Dr. Bruce Fagel & Associates.
