The parents of a five year old boy filed a malpractice suit due to injuries sustained during the birth of their son. The case has been settled after being in court for just three days explains a prominent New York Medical Malpractice Lawyer.
The New York City Medical Malpractice Lawyer was told that the parents of the child were awarded $8.5 million to cover medical costs and care required due to mistakes made when their don was born. The five year old boy still suffers from seizures and is not able to walk unassisted. The boy will need medical treatment for his entire life because he suffered from brain damage.
Everything seemed fine when the delivery started explained the Manhattan Medical Malpractice Lawyer. However, according to medical reports and records at 9 AM concerns were raised about the heart rate meter dropping significantly. The heart rate of the baby was originally at 140 beats per minute, but fell as low as 60 beats per minute.
