Baby From Port Townsend Gets $23.9M For Brain Injury
Baby From Port Townsend Gets $23.9M For Brain Injury
Introduction
A family from Port Townsend, whose baby suffered a permanent brain injury during delivery at Jefferson Healthcare Medical Center in 2014, receives a settlement of $23 million from a state jury of Washington. Plaintiffs claim that their baby was in pain during delivery as the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck deprived her of oxygen, which resulted in permanent brain damage to the child. The jury found doctors and nurses guilty for the incident by agreeing to the plaintiffs and going through the pieces of evidence. Attorneys argued that the authorities misheard the mother's heartbeat, considering it as the baby's making them think that the baby is fine. The mishap has made a huge impact on Lana for a lifetime, as she will have a permanent cognitive impairment, speech and language deficits, and impaired motor skills.Comments
