Improper use of Cervical Ripening Agent Causing Uterine Rupture and Brain Damage
Spartanburg, SC – Ms. Perkins and Mr. Myers represented a mother and her young baby girl with cerebral palsy against the OB-GYN who improperly used a drug against manufacturer’s warnings in an attempt to facilitate a vaginal birth after a prior c-section delivery. The drug overstimulated the uterus and caused contractions that resulted in rupture of the uterus. The baby was deprived of oxygen before it could be delivered by emergency C-Section. The child suffers from cerebral palsy as a result. Our attorneys were able to procure a settlement of $3.5 million that has allowed the young girl access to up-to-date assistive equipment and a better quality of life.
