MEDICAL MALPRACTICE / BIRTH INJURY SETTLEMENT

During delivery, the infant’s shoulder became impacted on the mother’s pubic symphysis, resulting in the infant becoming stuck in the birth canal. Instead of recognizing this and using appropriate maneuvers to free the shoulder, the doctor negligently pulled hard on the head to deliver the infant, causing a permanent, lifelong injury to her brachial plexus nerve, resulting in small, paralyzed arm and hand.
