Girl Born in Jail Suffers Birth Trauma Injuries
Wayne County has recently settled a birth trauma lawsuit filed by a woman who gave birth in jail. Chantrienes Barker went into labor in 1998 while incarcerated. Officers sent her to a hospital, but returned her to jail just two hours later. She and other inmates repeatedly urged guards to return her to the hospital, saying that her labor pains were increasing. She gave birth in jail, and her daughter now suffers from brain damage. Barker sued the county for violating her civil rights, and the county agreed to an $8 million settlement. The County’s Defense Initially, the county said that it was not responsible for the infant’s health due to a landmark abortion ruling. Since Roe V.

An Australian Birth Injury Case
A Sydney Australia court has cleared an obstetrician of any financial liability in a birth trauma lawsuit. George Angus was the specialist on duty when a baby was born with brain damage in September of 1995. The family of the baby had previously reached a settlement of $7.5 Million with the Greater Southern Area Health Service (GSAHS), an organization that provides health care to people living in specified regions of New South Wales, Australia. The birth of the baby was complicated when his shoulders became blocked and the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. These complications lead to a deprivation of oxygen which resulted in brain damage.
