£5.75mn in compensation for cerebral palsy at birth

A girl who was born with acute cerebral palsy has won £5.75mn in compensation. She was left brain damaged after mistakes were made by doctors during her delivery. She will require full time care for the rest of her life. She now suffers from diskinetic cerebral palsy which affects all of her arms and her legs. She sued the NHS Trust and the hospital’s managers. The NHS Trust settled the case out of court.
