Cerebral Palsy / Medical Malpractice Verdict Boston $26.5 Million

Earlier this week a Brockton family received a verdict of $26.5 million. The Plaintiffs alleged that the doctors failed to recognize the signs of fetal distress and didn't perform a Caesarian section fast enough the morning of March 14, 1997. Furthermore, the plaintiffs stated that this delay resulted in Jose Bejarano Jr developing Cerebral palsy.

It was an award for him,” said Bejarano, 42, a self-employed trucker. β€œIt’s for him just to make his life better, as much as we can.”

Bejarano and his wife, Maria, said the money allows them to continue to care for Jose at home.
