$2.3 Million Jury Verdict for Child Birth Injury

Attorneys: Jim Lewis, Emily Mapp Brannon
Paralegals: Denell, Legal Assistant: Melissa

Where:
Norfolk, VA Circuit Court

What Happened:
Our firm represented a child who suffered shoulder dystocia, a permanent arm injury during birth. The claim was brought against a nurse-midwife who assisted the child's mother at birth. A jury determined the nurse's negligent care was the cause of the child's arm injury.

The jury awarded the child $2.3 million and $60,000 to the mother for reimbursement of medical expenses. Jim fought hard to get as much compensation as possible since this child's life will be changed forever due to the injury. Just think, this child may never be able to play sports because of the negligent care provided at birth.

Awarded: $2.3 Million
