Illinois Cerebral Palsy Lawyers Obtain $12 Million Settlement in Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Last week birth injury lawyers settled a medical malpractice lawsuit against OSF Healthcare System, Inc. (St. Anthony Medical Center) for $12 million. The lawsuit was brought by the parents of a child that suffered brain damage as a result of lack of oxygen at birth.
The lawsuit alleged that the doctors and hospital staff failed to recognize signs of fetal distress, failed to recognize that the child was in a breach position, and failed to perform a C-section in a timely manner and as a result of this negligence, the child now suffers from cerebral palsy.
