CINCINNATI, March 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Accidentlawsuitfunding.com, a leading national lawsuit funding firm, announced today that a $17.5 million settlement was recently reached in a birth injury lawsuit involving a boy who was left disabled for life. While the lawsuit was brought to trial last November, T.J. Samson Community Hospital has now agreed to pay $17.5 million to the boy involved and his mother in order to compensate for medical expense as well as other losses. The plaintiff alleged that the hospital in Glasgow, Kentucky (KY) and the obstetrician were negligent during her labor and delivery of her son, resulting in her son being born with spastic quadriplegia (a form of cerebral palsy). Jurors found the hospital negligent and liable, however, the Ob/Gyn was cleared of any liability. The defendant was ordered to pay $18.27 million, but the mother agreed to accept a slightly lower settlement and in the end, the case settled for $17.5 million to avoid a lengthy appeal process. Appeals are typical on cases of this nature where there are large judgment or jury verdicts. These are known as verdict on appeal cases.

In light of the recent settlement, ALF is reaffirming the fact that they are dedicated to assisting plaintiffs involved in medical malpractice cases as well as cases involving personal injury, doctor negligence, hospital negligence, and any other cases similar in nature. ALF is also funding cases that are waiting for payment through a verdict on appeal process.

Chris Janish, CEO of ALF, commented on the nature of these types of cases and the company's commitment to funding them, "Large medical malpractice cases are very complex and difficult to fund pre-settlement as many of them end up in trial, and if the plaintiff is successful in winning a large medical malpractice or hospital negligence award, it is sure that the verdict will be appealed and delayed even longer. Our dedication to plaintiffs who need assistance, whether it is in pre-settlement, settlement, or waiting for payment on a verdict on appeal case, is unwavering."
