Medical Malpractice – Birth Injury
Rachel Fuerst represented the family of a severely brain injured child that confidentially settled a lawsuit with a North Carolina hospital for $7.95 million. The family alleged that during the labor and delivery process, the baby suffered a hypoxic brain injury in utero due to a mismanaged labor and untimely delivery. The identities of the parties, the jurisdiction and the location of the hospital are confidential.
The case was defended by defense counsel representing the defendants and their insurance carrier. The settlement was reached after suit was filed, depositions were taken, and a mediated settlement conference. The settlement amount was fully collectible.
