South Carolina Jury Awards $4.4 Million to Parents of Child With Cerebral Palsy Brain Injury
From the South Carolina Herald:" A York County jury has awarded $4.4 million to the parents of a 4-year-old girl who died after suffering brain injury at birth at Piedmont Medical Center.
The Rock Hill hospital in a statement Monday offered sympathies to the family and said it is considering its legal options, including an appeal. Piedmont said its staff acted appropriately.
The civil court jury found that the hospital was at fault in 2003 when it assigned a nurse trainee to monitor expectant mother Robin Wilson, who had arrived at the hospital three days before her scheduled induction, complaining of nausea and vomiting.
Lawyers for Wilson argued the nurse trainee misread fetal heart monitoring information showing the baby was in dire distress. The information showed the baby needed emergency intervention, according to a lawsuit Robin Wilson and her husband, Brice Wilson, of Fort Lawn filed against the hospital in York County court.
The girl, Sierra Wilson, was born Nov. 18, 2003, with a severe brain injury caused by oxygen deprivation. She died of complications from cerebral palsy more than four years later, on Feb. 13, 2008."
