Memphis Tennessee Birth Injury Attorneys to Provide Free Case Evaluations
Memphis attorneys Tim Edwards and Ed Wallis are reporting that a medical malpractice victim has settled with an Illinois hospital, a nurse midwife and the nurse’s employer for a $9.5 million medical malpractice lawsuit. A tragic case, the plaintiffs filed suit alleging that the hospital was at fault for causing their child’s cerebral palsy (more information by clicking HERE). The lawsuit further alleged that a nurse failed to timely call a doctor for assistance when the patient (mother) began experiencing complications. It is hoped that this settlement will help the parents care for their child as a result of the medical negligence of the defendants.
Did you know that in this country alone, including in the states of Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas, there will be nearly 10,000 babies every year that develop cerebral palsy. Almost 60% or more of these children will be mentally impaired. Tragically, one cause of cerebral palsy is birth injury or birth trauma, which includes medical malpractice. Every day across the country, negligence causes cerebral palsy, including by careless handling of child’s cranium or negligently failing to detect oxygen blockage in a baby’s brain.
Other factors that could cause cerebral palsy include a baby being lodged in the mother’s birch canal with a lack of oxygen or a physician’s failure to ensure a mother delivered her child within twenty-four (24) hours of her water breaking. Without hesitation, if your child has developed cerebral palsy and you believe hospital or doctor negligence was involved, do not delay in contacting a Memphis Tennessee medical malpractice lawyer today.
