The Chicago Tribune reports that a Milwaukee, Wisconsin family is receiving an $18 million settlement from the federal government for their severe injuries received by their daughter as a result of negligent birthing care. The baby was born at a federally funded clinic. Federal attorneys originally claimed that although there may have been negligence, the U.S. government was not the responsible party. The infant was stuck in the birth canal and deprived of oxygen for 20 minutes. She now is developmentally disabled and has severe cerebral palsy as a result of her brain injury. The Chicago Tribune reports that the settlement will come from a fund that the feds maintain to back community health centers.
