$3.85 Million for a Child with Cerebral Palsy and Profound Developmental Delays
Jan 03, 2014OUTCOME: $3.85 Million Settlement
This case involved a series of mistakes made by physicians and hospital staff that resulted in a brain injured baby. The child has been diagnosed with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and profound d ... evelopmental delays. He cannot walk or talk and requires feeding by tube. Reiter & Walsh asserted in this very difficult case that the mother’s sickle cell disease, brain abscess requiring cranial surgery during pregnancy, seizures, and multiple hospitalizations during pregnancy placed her in a high-risk category. Despite being high-risk, staff and doctors managing her care did not communicate or follow-up on abnormal test results. One such result revealed that the baby was not growing proportionally to gestational age. This finding required early delivery of the baby, between 34 and 37 weeks gestation. Instead, the pregnancy was allowed to continue and the mother experienced a sickle cell crisis at 37 weeks. During this time the baby’s fetal heart tracings were non-reassuring and an emergency C-section was ordered but delayed. This deprived the baby of oxygen resulting in brain damage.
