  • Medical Malpractice Attorneys Earn Large Verdict in Birth Injuries Lawsuit

Medical malpractice attorneys have earned a jury verdict of $58 Million for the family of eight-year-old Daniel D’Attilo of Connecticut after deciding his birth injuries were preventable.
The case was filed in 2005 on behalf of Daniel’s parents, Cathy and Dominic. The jury awarded $8 million for past and future medical expenses of the disabled child who will require ongoing, full-time care for his entire life because he is unable to speak, eat or walk. Daniel also suffers from seizures as a result of his cerebral palsy. The remaining $50 million was awarded for pain and suffering. The verdict is the largest medical malpractice verdict ever in Connecticut’s history.

Medical Malpractice Attorneys Blame Delay in Delivery and Poorly Performed Cesarean Delivery for Child’s Injury

The family’s medical malpractice attorneys for the family argued that Cathy’s amniotic fluid had dropped by half about three days before Daniel was delivered. According to the family’s attorneys, Cathy’s doctor was aware of this fact and knowingly chose to wait to deliver the baby boy. When he finally did perform a C-section to deliver the child, the surgery was done improperly; cutting off the oxygen to Daniel’s brain resulting in brain damage. Daniel was subsequently diagnosed with a severe case of cerebral palsy.
