Beam Legal Team has been highlighted in recent ABC7 Chicago coverage for winning a significant medical malpractice case on behalf of a Wisconsin family. The jury awarded the family $10.2 million after finding that Ascension All Saints Hospital and the attending obstetrician were negligent during labor, resulting in the child’s cerebral palsy diagnosis.
The case centered on the improper administration of Pitocin, a synthetic form of oxytocin used to induce labor. In this instance, the excessive contractions caused by Pitocin resulted in oxygen deprivation and brain damage to now six-year-old Ka’Mya. More details about the case can be found in our own press release.
This victory is especially noteworthy because 91% of medical malpractice cases in Wisconsin favor healthcare providers. If your family has been affected by a preventable birth injury, contact us today for a free consultation.
