A judge finds a hospital negligent in the birth injury of a five-year-old girl, who suffered a severe brain injury after being born via caesarean section in 2020. The child has ongoing medical and developmental issues, including developmental delays, cerebral palsy, impaired hearing, and functional blindness.
Her family seeks financial compensation to help meet the costs of her care. The judge determines negligence, but nonetheless rules against ordering a compensation payout. The three outlets report the same core outcome: a negligence finding in relation to the birth, followed by a decision not to award damages in this case.
