California$3,000,000 Medical Malpractice, Birth Injury, Brain Injury
Our birth injury lawyers in San Francisco tried a case involving shoulder dystocia resulting in brain injury.
This is believed to be the largest recovery for a medical malpractice case in this Northern California county. Our client was giving birth to an unusually large baby and the doctors failed to properly estimate the size of the baby prior to labor. After the baby's head was delivered, the rest of the body couldn’t pass through the mother’s pelvis. The doctors then pushed the head back through the mother's pelvis and delivered it by c-section. This resulted in the baby sustaining a severe brain injury and requiring 24/7 attendant care for life.
We represented a family in Hawaii whose child suffered brain damage during birth.The case was against the United States for a birth injury which resulted from the government doctor's failure to promptly deliver the baby when the labor failed to progress, and fetal monitoring revealed the baby was in trouble. The injured young boy is now able to walk and communicate, but will live with disabilities that require constant supervision for the rest of his life. The settlement is the largest pretrial settlement against the USA in this Western state’s history.
