$5,000,000 (Jury Verdict) --Medical Malpractice-- A hospital failed to adequately monitor a pregnant mother, and recognize the signs of fetal distress. As a result the child suffered from hypoxia and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. In addition to cognitive disabilities, the child suffered from ADHD and further behavioral disorders.
$4,750,000 --Medical Malpractice-- A hospital delivery lasted 26 hours, and was supervised only by a midwife. The infant suffered fetal acidosis and subsequent asphyxia. The hospital failed to follow protocol requiring pediatric presence, failed to recognize long runs of fetal tachycardia and fetal distress, and failed to perform a timely C-section. This led to cerebral palsy, spastic quadriplegia, and delayed development.
$4,000,000 --Workplace Accident-- A sanitation worker was driving one of the the department's EZ-pack trucks. She climbed on top to clear debris, when her partner activated the truck's mechanical lift, pinning her and killing her.
