Brain Damage Sustained in Preeclampsia Case
During pregnancy Kimberly Monson developed preeclampsia in her 35th week. The condition is typically treatable, but her obstetrician failed to treat her properly. Her condition worsened becoming severe enough to cause a brain bleed leading to brain damage. The baby was delivered safely. In the ensuing medical malpractice case she secured a $6.4 million award.
"She's really a brave and courageous woman. It's a great family and, hopefully, this can allow her to move on a little, I guess," said her attorney.Counting interest the award can add up to more than $10 million
