$5.5 Million Settlement for Newborn Injured as a Result of a Medication Error

Pacific Medical Law successfully negotiated a settlement of $5,500,000 for a newborn baby who suffered a brain injury due to a medication error while in the neonatal care unit. As a result, the child requires extensive care, special equipment, including custom power wheelchairs and power lifts, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, handicapped accessible housing and transportation. The injured infant will never work, walk or speak because of brain injury and severe mental disability.

The Public Guardian and Trustee in recommending approval of the settlement said:

The Law Firm was able to achieve what we consider to be an excellent settlement... In our opinion, the reason that [the] case did not go to trial is because Pacific Medical Law had built a formidable case on all fronts... and the Defence knew that the Law Firm was fully prepared for trial. It is our further view that [the] case could not have been undertaken except by a law firm already experienced in the area of medical malpractice...
