An inevitable fact of life is that it can end unexpectedly, and doctors have to say the phrase that many friends and family members do not want to hear: “Time of death … (Insert time here).”
Can you imagine the mixed emotions of a family whose doctor said that, and it was not true? And what if it involved your child? A medical malpractice lawsuit has been filed against a West Virginia hospital and the doctor responsible for making that costly mistake.
Our personal injury lawyers in San Diego believe that injuries or wrongful death caused by the medical malpractice of doctors or hospitals should be handled like other personal injury cases. No one at fault for injury or wrongful death should be immune to the legal process.
A medical mistake at Charleston Area Medical Center caused the brain injuries in a newborn baby.
The medical malpractice complaint filed by Carmela and Joseph Newhouse claims their new baby, Camren, was mispronounced dead shortly after being born on June 3, 2008. After being taken off life support and given to Joseph to hold one last time, Joseph noticed slight signs of life.
The lawsuit contends medical personnel took nearly half an hour to determine Camren was breathing when resuscitation efforts resumed. The Newhouses continue to believe Camren has suffered permanent brain damage from being deprived of oxygen for so long. The medical malpractice lawsuit claims that this child’s injury was caused by that medical mistake.
Our firm’s San Diego personal injury lawyers would seek damages for unnecessary medical expenses and loss of future earning capacity caused by this alleged medical malpractice. One critical medical mistake may have caused permanent disabilities to an infant child who may now never recover completely to live a normal life.
In summation, we advise people who have medical malpractice claims to make sure they hire an experienced personal injury lawyer who can work for a settlement to aid any future medical care as well as ease your pain and suffering.
Unfortunately, no medical malpractice settlement can undo permanent brain damage to a young child. That is the true tragedy of personal injury.
