Multi-Million Dollar Arbitration Award
In a case involving cerebral palsy, our attorneys obtained a binding multi-million dollar arbitration award following a two-week arbitration on behalf of a 3-year-old boy who suffered multiple permanent neurological injuries as a result of negligent delivery. Our team proved that the child experienced prolonged oxygen deprivation when his mother’s uterus ruptured. The uterine rupture was due to an attending midwife’s failure to properly manage the mother while in labor. The Walkup Kaiser team also proved that obstetrical nurses left the mother unattended prior to the rupture of her uterus, failing to appreciate ominous signs of fetal distress on a fetal heart monitor. Prior to the arbitration, Kaiser made no settlement offer.
