Two Hospitals Allegedly Failed to Provide Proper Treatment to Mother and Son
Two hospitals allegedly failed to provide proper treatment to a pregnant mother. Her unborn son allegedly sustained severe lifelong injuries that prevent him from being able to stand, crawl or walk.
According to the information filed in this court case, the defendants allegedly failed to provide prudent and proper medical care to the pregnant plaintiff and in failing to do so caused permanent and catastrophic injuries to her baby. The baby, now four years old, is disabled for the rest of his life and will never live independently, requires around-the-clock skilled care, cannot go to school and will not be able to hold a job.
Information submitted in the lawsuit indicated the pregnant mother was having a difficult time with nausea, headaches, dizziness, backaches and possible decreased fetal movement. She was experiencing these multiple symptoms three weeks in advance of her due date and went to her local medical center to be evaluated. She was not assessed, did not receive an ultrasound or have a biophysical profile completed. Instead, she was sent home.
The mother went back to the medical center the next morning where another obstetrician scheduled a C-section for her for the following day. When the baby was delivered he displayed seizures, apnea, poor color and tone. He was transferred to an intensive care unit and stayed there for 12 days. While in the neonatal intensive care unit, it is alleged, staff did not monitor his ventilator settings, which resulted in low CO2 blood levels.
When a loved one sustains serious injuries due to medical negligence, the family may wish to file a medical negligence lawsuit. However, while waiting for the case to move forward, they cannot wait to deal with financial necessities. Litigation funding may be the perfect solution. If the family hires an attorney and files a claim, they are eligible for pre-settlement funding.
A lawsuit loan is a fast cash advance against a pending lawsuit that acts to supplement a plaintiff’s loss of income. The cash advance helps victims cope financially while they wait for fair compensation. Without the pressing necessity of trying to find funds to pay for bills, the plaintiff may wait to have their case resolved and they do not need to settle for less than the potential full value of their case.
