Florida Jury awards $21 million for wrongful birth
A Florida Jury awarded a couple in a "wrongful birth" case, more than $21 million. The suit stemmed from claims that the doctor misdiagnosed a severe birth defect in their son, leading them to have a second child with similar problems. However, since the doctor works for a govenment hospital, University of South Florida, they will need to convince the Legislature to award most of the money. State law limits negligence claims against government agencies at $200,000.
