$290,000 Medical Malpractice Settlement


$290,000 Medical Malpractice Settlement. A 24-year-old pregnant factory worker delivered a baby via C-section at an Indiana hospital. After the birth of the child, she felt fatigued and was diagnosed as having post-partum problems and iron deficiency. A chiropractor took x-rays that showed a foreign object, identified by him as a belt buckle. CT scan finally revealed the presence of a surgical sponge (38cm) wrongly left in the patient from surgery. Bowel resection was required. The settlement was for $40,000 as to the chiropractor for late diagnosis (his policy limit) and $250,000 from the doctor/hospital.
