Six Year Old Girl Awarded Birth Injury Compensation
A six year old girl has been awarded birth injury compensation after suffering severe brain damage during her birth.
Kaysie-Jane Bland was starved of oxygen during her delivery at Wordsley Hospital. Her mother – Jane Robinson – alleged that the hospital was negligent in their treatment of both of them, as staff failed to act on fetal distress. Despite signs that all was not well with the delivery, the medical team failed to deliver Kaysie quicker, and she was left starved of oxygen for 31 minutes during this time.
Kaysie has been left with brain damage, and is unable to walk or talk. Her mother is now her full-time carer, seeing to her extensive care needs.
Huntsville Air Show 2008 Sued for 5-Year-Old Boy’s Wrongful Death
The family of Josiah Miller, a 5-year-old boy who was killed at the 2008 Air Show at the Huntsville International Airport, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the organizers of the air show, the Huntsville-Madison County Airport Authority and All Needz Rental. They claim that those groups share responsibility for the accident that led to Josiah’s death.
According to the family’s complaint, Josiah and Jason Miller, his father, took shelter behind one of the tents during a thunderstorm. Several of the tents became dislodged because they were inadequately fastened down, and a large air conditioner attached to one of the tents fell on Josiah, causing fatal injuries.
