Featured Medical Malpractice Case: $6.25 Million Birth Injury Verdict
One example of our commitment to accountability involved a birth injury case that resulted in a $6.25 million jury verdict for a Georgia family.
During pregnancy, medical providers identified risk factors indicating that the baby was larger than average, creating a heightened risk for complications during delivery. Despite these warning signs, the parents were never adequately informed of the risks associated with vaginal delivery and were not offered a meaningful discussion regarding the option of a cesarean section.
When labor progressed, complications arose. The delivery resulted in a severe brachial plexus injury, causing permanent damage to the child's arm and shoulder. Medical experts later determined that the injury could have been prevented through proper evaluation, informed consent discussions, and appropriate delivery planning.
Our Investigation
Pope Trial Law conducted an extensive investigation involving:
● Obstetrical experts
● Maternal-fetal medicine specialists
● Life-care planning professionals
● Economic loss experts
Through expert testimony and comprehensive discovery, we demonstrated that the medical providers failed to meet the accepted standard of care by neglecting to discuss a C-section option and failing to properly manage foreseeable delivery risks.
The Outcome
A Georgia jury found that the health care providers' failures deprived the parents of an informed medical decision and directly contributed to the child's preventable injury.
The resulting $6.25 million verdict provided resources for:
● Lifetime medical treatment
● Physical and occupational therapy
● Educational assistance
● Assistive technology and support services
● Long-term quality-of-life care
Why This Case Matters
Birth injury and medical malpractice cases are rarely about a single mistake. They often involve communication failures, ignored warning signs, inadequate informed consent, and preventable medical errors that permanently impact families.
This case reflects the core mission of Pope Trial Law: holding negligent parties accountable while helping injured individuals and families secure the resources they need for the future.
