$1.3M Settlement for Brachial Plexus Birth Injury

$1.3 million settlement during a medical malpractice trial for an infant that suffered a brachial plexus injury during delivery because the doctors failed to properly estimate the fetal weight and consider a Cesarean section. The baby then got stuck in the birth canal during birth, which necessitated excessive pulling on the infant’s head and right arm with forceps. As a result, the baby suffered minor paralysis in certain arm muscles and required several years of physical therapy.
