Infant Brain Injury Settlement

A $6.5 million Illinois medical malpractice settlement has been reached in a birthing injury case involving a now 7-year-old boy. The child, Roberto Morales Jr, allegedly suffers from cerebral palsy because the obstetrician and labor and delivery nurse at the Provena Mercy Medical Center failed to properly monitor his heart rate and deliver him hours before an emergency C-section finally took place. His mother had been given Pitocin to accelerate her contractions. Morales was born with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and metabolic acidosis.
