WVFK&N partner Chris Norman recently settled a case in mediation, with the plaintiff receiving $2.75 million for damages following the death of a newborn child following a failure to deliver timely.

Even though fetal monitoring showed the child was clearly in distress, delivery of the baby was delayed for over an hour after the resident physician misinterpreted the fetal monitoring strip. The physician was still in training and held no license to practice medicine independently. Because of this mistake, the baby boy suffered a devastating brain injury, and once he was delivered, he struggled for life for 5 hours before passing away.

After mediation facilitated by Chris Norman and the WVFK&N team, the hospital agreed to pay $2.75 million in damages.
