Misread Ultrasound Involving Twins Results in One Death and One Injured Child

Settlement/Verdict: $1,800,000.00

Attorney: John W. Carey
Practice Area: Medical Malpractice
Client Injury: Death and Brain Injury

We represented a child and her parents in a case in which the mother’s pregnancy with the child was not properly managed. The mother had an ultrasound at 13 weeks into her pregnancy, which showed twins, but was interpreted as being a single fetus. It was not discovered that there were twins until the mother was in the hospital to deliver the babies. Proper steps were not taken to handle a twin pregnancy. As a result, one of the children was stillborn and the other lived but suffered a brain injury.
