Girl awarded in cerebral palsy lawsuit

A child has been awarded in a medical malpractice lawsuit after medical errors led to severe brain injuries at birth.

As a result of the birth injury, the child now has cerebral palsy which requires her to be fed through a feeding tube and has led to immobility.

The family and their lawyers stated in the lawsuit that the injuries their daughter faced at birth were the result of a series of medical errors and medical mistakes by hospital doctors and staff.

The lawsuit claimed that doctors failed to notice an abnormality in the child's heart rate, a condition that should have called for a much earlier delivery. The lawsuit also states that the child suffered from oxygen deprivation as a result of mistakes made by nursing staff. The deprivation of oxygen caused the child to develop cerebral palsy.

The money awarded in the lawsuit will cover the costs of the round-the-clock care that will be required for the rest of the child's life.
