Rapoport Weisberg & Sims P.C. filed a medical malpractice lawsuit today in the Circuit Court of Cook County against a Chicago-area hospital for causing a baby to sustain a traumatic brain injury during delivery. According to the lawsuit and the attached physician’s certificate of merit, an otherwise healthy baby was being delivered by cesarean section, and during the procedure, excessive force was applied to the baby’s head causing profound internal bleeding. Due to the massive blood loss, the baby experienced hypovolemic shock and suffered permanent brain injuries.
