Case Funding Firm says a pregnant woman was seen by a physician in 2010 who failed to call for help after the victim's uterus ruptured, resulting in the baby being born with brain damage and cerebral palsy.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Legal-Bay LLC, The Lawsuit Settlement Funding Company, reported today that a $9 million settlement was recently reached in a medical malpractice case over an incident that occurred in 2010. The lawsuit alleges that a pregnant woman was taken to the hospital and was seen by an "inexperienced physician in her first year of residency who failed to call for help when the woman's uterus ruptured," according to an article by Khon2 News online.

The woman's medical history, including a high-risk of uterine rupture, was known to the staff, however, the physician neglected to call for help, resulting in oxygen being cut off to the baby. The baby boy was born with brain damage and cerebral palsy, and is now permanently disabled and will require around-the-clock care for the rest of his life. According to the article, "a substantial portion of settlement funds have been used to purchase an annuity that will make monthly payments into the injured child's trust that are guaranteed for the duration of his life, no matter how long he lives."
