$3.7 Million Verdict in Birth Injury Case

An Indianapolis jury has awarded a woman and her daughter a $3.7 million judgment in a medical malpractice case arising from the girl's troubled birth. The lawsuit alleged that the 6-year-old girl will live with cerebral palsy the rest of her life because of delays in the delivery that deprived her brain of oxygen.  She was born via C-section in October 2001.  Indiana limits medical malpractice awards, so the judgment on the three claims will be reduced to just under $2 million.
