Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit Results in $5.75 Million

by Robert A. D'Iorio

Last Friday a California judge approved a medical malpractice lawsuit settlement for a child that sustained a birth injury that resulted in cerebral palsy.

The lawsuit alleged that the doctor and medical staff at the University of California Davis failed to recognize signs of fetal distress. As a result of the negligence the child suffered brain damage.
