For new parents in Tennessee, the birth of their child is a miraculous moment filled with joy, wonder and love. Childbirth is a delicate and complicated process that requires focus and attention to detail from doctors, nurses and other medical providers. Unfortunately, any mistake made during the birthing process can have permanent and disastrous consequences for both the infant and mother.
Parents in another state filed a lawsuit against a medical clinic over claims thatย negligence during the birth of their childย left the baby with permanent brain damage. Allegedly, providers at the clinic used a vacuum and forceps to deliver the infant. According to the lawsuit, doctors improperly used the tools and fractured the infantโs skull during childbirth.
As a result, the lawsuit said the child was left with debilitating and permanent brain damage. A jury awarded more than $98 million to the family for the defendantโs malpractice and negligence. Records indicated it was the largest medical malpractice judgment in their stateโs history. Reportedly, the clinic filed for bankruptcy shortly after the case.
When errors or negligence happen during a delicate medical procedure like childbirth, mothers and their babies ultimately suffer the consequences. Those in Tennessee who have suffered due toย birth injuries or medical malpracticeย have the right to reach out to a seasoned lawyer and seek legal recourse. A successfully litigated case could result in much-needed compensation to help families recover from this traumatic experience.
