$12 Million Verdict for Disabled 7 year Old in Malpractice Case
A recent jury awarded $12 million for a medical malpractice case involving a 7-year-old Warrenville boy who became disabled at birth, during an unplanned Cesarean-section surgery. According to court documents, there was an unnecessary 45 minute delay at the beginning of the delivery by Steven Ambrust, a family practitioner involved in the child's delivery.
The result left 7-year old, Benjamin Hayes, with no control over his limbs. He is in a wheelchair for life and requires a feeding tube. His parents Aaron and Michelle Hayes, plan to use the funds solely for his medical care.
