Birth Injury Case results in $11.4M Jury Verdict

By Jeff Lowe, Esq.

ADVERTISEMENTS

A jury awarded the parents of a brain-damaged boy $11.4 million in a medical malpractice case, the La Crosse Tribune reports.

Chad and Amy Jelinek claimed that hospital staff at Gunderson Lutheran Medical Center failed to deliver their son Laine in a timely fashion and that fetal strips that showed their son was in distress were misread. Laine suffered brain injuries from complications arising out of his birth. As a result of his injuries, Laine was left with cerebral palsy and needs constant care.

After a three-week trial, the jury concluded that a nurse and nurse midwife provided negligent care.

Hospitals employ physicians, nurses and staff. Each one of those has a separate duty of care and in certain circumstances, may breach the standard of care and be held liable for negligence. If you are suffering from an injury or you have lost a loved one as a result of medical malpractice, contact us immediately. We will meet with you at your convenience for a free consultation to discuss your options.
