Obstetrical malpractice case:
Woman wins millions over baby stuck in birth canal

A jury in a malpractice trial has awarded more than $20 million to a woman whose baby was stuck in her birth canal for 13 hours, said the Associated Press on May 20, 2008.

According to the report, the jury found doctors negligent for trying to push the woman's 9-pound baby through. The process squeezed her head. The baby was eventually delivered by Caesarean section.

In a trial, the woman's medical malpractice lawyers argued that the baby suffered brain injuries.

Reportedly, the now 10-year-old girl has limited use of her limbs, has vision problems and is mildly retarded.
