Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Against Minnesota Hospital

In August 2008, jurors began to hear testimony in a medical malpractice case against a hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota which involved a severely handicapped 11 year old girl. The plaintiffs have asked the jurors in the case to return a $20 million verdict against the hospital.

The plaintiffs, the child’s adoptitve parents, claim the hospital was negligent in not filing a report of suspected child abuse when the girl was an infant. The child was first brought to the hospital’s emergency room when she was three weeks old for treatment of a broken arm. Over the next two-three weeks, she was treated at the same ER for injuries which included broken ribs. When the baby was seven weeks old, she was again brought to the ER for skull fractures from shaken baby syndrome. The subsequent investigation determined that the abuse occurred at the hands of her biological father, who is currently incarcarated after being convicted for the abuse.
