Cerebral Palsy Lawyer Obtains $77 Million in Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

by Robert A. D'Iorio

Last month a New York Jury delivered a $77 million dollar verdict for a child that suffered a lack of oxygen at birth that allegedly caused the child to develop cerebral palsy.

The lawsuit alleged that after noticing signs of fetal distress the doctors and hospital staff attempted a vaginal delivery rather than performing a c-section. According to the lawsuit his delay caused the child to suffer brain damage.
