Medical Malpractice Birth Injury

A New Jersey jury has awarded more than $19 million in a medical malpractice case to a 10 year old boy who was disabled from birth.  The money will allow the boy's mother to pay for his care for the rest of his life, equip their home to accommodate his special needs and purchase a wheelchair-accessible van for his transportation.  According to thesuit, the doctor initially misdiagnosed the mother, who was 30 weeks pregnant at the time, after she called him one evening complaining of ab dominal pain.  The doctor allegedly delayed in determining that the mother was hemorrhaging and had lost a massive amount of blood.  The child eventually was delivered, had to be resuscitated and spent four months in intensive care. He suffers from severe brain damage, cerebral palsy and is legally blind.
