A court ruling on June 3, 2009 could allow a Utah couple to reach a settlement in a medical malpractice lawsuit after a baby was born with permanent brain damage.
Robert and Paea Olah say their daughter suffered permanent brain damage during delivery because of negligence by physician Ronald Baird. Baird denies the allegation and refuses to grant permission to his insurer to settle out of court.
This firm’s San Diego personal injury lawyers believe that doctors who are responsible for the personal injury or wrongful death of their patients could very well be held liable if a medical malpractice claim proves the personal injury or wrongful death was, in reality, their fault.
A bankruptcy filing by Baird and the ruling by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver said the “right to settle” is an asset and the trustee in the bankruptcy case has the option of “selling” that right to the Olahs.
If Robert and Paea Olah obtain the right to settle, they can submit their claim for $1 million to the doctor’s insurance company for a fair evaluation, according to their attorney.
When personal injury or wrongful death happens, hiring an experienced personal injury attorney in San Diego who handles medical malpractice cases can help clients receive a settlement that will help pay medical bills for permanent injuries like brain damage, mental disabilities or physical disabilities like paralysis (i.e. paraplegia & quadriplegia).
