$1,000,000
The hospital, doctors, staff and treating doctor failed to recognize in advance that the mother was too small to deliver a large baby. The doctor and midwife used improper maneuvers to pull the baby out and thus permanently injured his shoulder. Despite numerous operations, he will always have a permanent loss of function. After retaining numerous experts, Attorney Goodman was successful in proving his case. It settled at the start of trial for substantial confidential amounts for the child and parents.
