Judge Awards $9.6M To Child in Medical Malpractice Case

A federal judge in Sacramento ruled in favor of a 3-year-old who suffered a brain injury during birth in 2012. According to the lawsuit, the doctor waited too long to deliver her via C-section, despite evidence that the baby's heart rate was worsening and that her mother would not be able to deliver vaginally. The child was awarded $9.6 million in damages; her mother was awarded $250,000 in $250,000 compensation for her emotional distress during the delivery. The judge said that the little girl will never be able to walk, talk, or care for herself. She cannot see and must be fed through a feeding tube into her stomach. She also suffers occasional seizures.

A birth injury can be devastating and often times leave families in disarray. While Lawsuit Financial can't help with the emotional duress, we can assist victims in securing a lawsuit cash advance. Lawsuit funding is often the answer to difficult situations when faced with loss of wages, job loss, increased medical expenses, as well as daily living expenses. Once we receive a funding application, we can typically have a decision within 24 – 48 hours because the review and approval process is done in-house; there are no third parties to consult. If approved, a contract including the payment schedule and interest rate will be sent to you and your attorney. Once the contract is signed, we will issue or check or wire the funds directly into your bank account. Funding is provided on a non-recourse basis meaning that you assume no risk of paying us back for your cash advance. We are paid out of the proceeds of your birth defect claim or lawsuit settlement. If you recover nothing, you owe us nothing.

If you currently are in a lawsuit for a birth injury and searching for a lawsuit cash advance, call Lawsuit Financial or complete our free, online application. While litigation funding is not for everyone, it allows many people to know they do not need to worry about how to pay their bills while waiting for justice.
