MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Record $12-million verdict against doctor in Illinois malpractice case

October 13, 2008 -- An Illinois jury recently awarded the parents of a seven-year-old boy $12 million in a medical malpractice case against the doctor that delivered the child.

The verdict is the largest on record for DuPage County, Illinois.

According to the lawsuit, an Illinois couple’s child was born disabled due to the negligence of the delivering physician who delayed an unexpected Caesarean-section surgery for 45 minutes, depriving the child of oxygen and causing his disability.

The jury agreed. According to reports, $10.5 million of the award will go toward the future care of the seven-year-old. The child has no control over his limbs, requires a feeding tube and must use a wheelchair.
