Pennsylvania Cerebral Palsy Lawyer Recovers $ 20.5 Million in Malpractice Lawsuit
Last week a jury awarded the family of Cody White $ 20.5 million for a birth injury that resulted in cerebral palsy.
The Medical malpractice lawsuit alleged that the boy’s mother arrived at the hospital in labor at which time fetal monitoring strips were attached to the mother. The fetal monitoring strips demonstrated that the child was in distress. The family waited two hours for the doctor to arrive. Upon arrival the doctor attempted to induce labor instead of performing an immediate c-section. This delay resulted in a lack of oxygen to the child causing brain damage and cerebral palsy.
