Failure To Perform Timely Cesarean Section - $4,100,000 Settlement
In another case involving cerebral palsy, our birth injury attorneys obtained a binding and final arbitration award against Kaiser, following a two week arbitration. That arbitration award had a present cash value of $4,100,000 and was secured on behalf of a 3-year-old boy afflicted with multiple neurological injuries as a result of negligent delivery. Our birth injury team of attorneys and physician experts were able to prove that the infant endured a period of oxygen deprivation when his mother's uterus ruptured. The uterine rupture was due to an attending midwife's failure to properly manage the mother while in labor. Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger attorneys also proved that obstetrical nurses left the mother unattended prior to the rupture of her uterus, and for that reason failed to appreciate ominous signs of the baby's distress as reported on a fetal heart monitor. Before the beginning of the arbitration, Kaiser had made no settlement offer.
