PSL obtains a $8,003,975.18 judgment against Valley Hospital after positive jury verdict

In one of Clark County’s the first Plaintiff medical malpractice jury verdicts in the past few years, PSL’s client, now 12 year-old little girl, was born with cerebral palsy and severe birth defects. The firm filed a medical negligence suit against Valley Hospital.

The jury found that Valley Hospital was negligent in failing to timely recognize, react and respond to several independent signs of severe fetal distress warranting an emergency cesarean section. As a result, the baby was subjected to sustained and severe fetal distress, causing progressive neurologic damage while in utero, from approximately 8:00 a.m. through 2:26 p.m. Although mom presented to Valley Hospital at approximately 8:00 a.m., with incredible symptoms of distress, the baby was not delivered until 2:26 p.m., via emergency cesarean surgery.
