FAMILY RECEIVES MILLIONS IN BRAIN INJURY CASE—CALL BAY AREA PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY NOW
Victims of negligence on the part of doctors, nurses and hospital employees may file lawsuits called medical malpractice suits. These lawsuits examine the role that health care providers in certain incidents and whether they acted properly. In order to determine whether the health care providers acted properly in a situation, the judge would evaluate whether the health care provider acted in a reasonable way that others in the same field would have. For example, if a doctor fails to provide a patient with a certain treatment, but provides another remedy, then he would not necessarily be found of any wrongdoing. However, if that doctor did not provide any treatment when any other doctor would have, then there might be liability.
The family of Roberto Morales Jr. has reached a $6.5 million settlement agreement against Provena Mercy Medical Center in Cook County, Illinois on January 13, 2009. The lawsuit was brought against the hospital because it was alleged that Roberto sustained brain injury during his birth because the obstetrician and labor and delivery nurse failed to respond to his low heart rate and reduced oxygen as a result of the drug Pitocin.
