$4.65 Million – Failure To React Quickly To Warning Signs During Delivery
Failure To React Quickly To Warning Signs During Delivery
This case involved nurses at a Cincinnati hospital. They attempted to blame an OB for not attending to warning signs during a delivery. The OB indicated he was in the on-call sleeping room the entire night and was never called in a timely manner.
Lost in this senseless fight was the family of a little girl who was born brain-damaged because of the nurses and the OB to act and deliver the child appropriately. After researching the records, it was apparent the nurses had falsified the records to reflect calls to the OB they never made. Despite all this both defendants pushed this case to the eve of trial before resolving the matter.
The family has utilized the settlement of $4.65 million to provide education, equipment, housing and nursing care for their daughter who is now nearing her teenage years.
Every case is different, and the verdicts and settlement figures listed by Crandall & Pera Law are not a guarantee of similar outcomes for other clients and cases.
