Settlement with OB-GYN for brachial plexus injury from shoulder dystocia
Our client suffered an injury to the nerves of her right arm during her delivery. The defendant OB-GYN had failed to diagnose that out client’s mother was a gestational diabetic during her prenatal care. He also failed to recognize that the baby was going to be very large. During delivery the baby’s shoulder was caught (shoulder dystocia) because it was too broad to easily fit through the birth canal. When this problem occurred the physician did exactly the wrong maneuver. All of this caused the nerves to the child’s arm to be torn leaving her with a permanently impaired arm. This case settled in mediation for $500,000.
