Birth Injury and Cerebral Palsy Verdicts & Settlements
Kline & Specter, with our main office in Philadelphia, excels at winning birth injury and cerebral palsy lawsuits. Recently, the firm’s attorneys won a nearly $42 million verdict for a child who suffered a forceps injury at birth that resulted in severe brain damage. The defendant in that lawsuit was the U.S. government, which had employed the doctor who committed the egregious error.
Here are several other birth injury lawsuits we have handled that resulted in major jury verdicts and settlements:
Birth Injury Case Study No. 1: $100 million. One of our attorneys secured this record-setting verdict in Philadelphia for a baby who suffered severe brain damage as a result of medical malpractice. It was the largest-ever compensatory damages award in Pennsylvania.
Birth Injury Case Study No. 2: $57 million. This verdict resulting from a lawsuit in Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) Pennsylvania involved a midwife whose actions caused infant oxygen deprivation that resulted in cerebral palsy.
Birth Injury Case Study No. 3: $42.9 million. This verdict won by our attorneys was for a baby girl who was badly injured during delivery at a Philadelphia hospital.
Birth Injury Case Study No. 4: $20 million. This was the settlement of a lawsuit in a birth injury case involving negligent care during labor and delivery that resulted in a catastrophic brain injury. Other details of the case remain confidential.
Birth Injury Case Study No. 5: $19 million. Our attorneys achieved a confidential settlement following a lawsuit on behalf of an infant who suffered cerebral palsy due to a delayed C-section.
Birth Injury Case Study No. 6: $15 million. The firm’s attorneys settled this lawsuit against a doctor and a nurse in a New Jersey case.
