$750,000: Cerebral palsy following a mismanaged labor and delivery
$750.000 Settlement
Rhode Island
A New Hampshire boy has received a $750,000 settlement for injuries he received due to trauma during birth. The boy\'s mother entered the hospital in premature labor at just 29 weeks with twins. Despite being in premature labor, the obstetrical staff failed to perform close and continuous monitoring of the babies and failed to recognize signs of fetal distress. The obstetrical staff further decided not to perform a Cesarean Section for the twin who was known to be breach. As a result, the 2nd twin was forced to undergo a traumatic vaginal delivery resulting in severe and permanent neurological injuries.
