$7.0 Million Paid By Physician In GBS Claim

In a documented birth injury case an OB/GYN delivered a newborn before the mother reached full term in the pregnancy. The OB/GYN did not administer antibiotics while the mother was in labor although doctors usually recognize that, in cases involving a preterm birth, the administration of antibiotics drastically reduces the likelihood that the child will be infected with GBS . The baby became infected with group b strep which lead to septicemia, severe hypotension, as well as a brain hemorrhage with internal shunt. As a result, the newborn suffers from developmental delays. The law firm that handled this matter documented a settlement in an amount in excess of $7.0 Million.
