$1.25 Million Recovery for Disabled Child

A young mother brought her 15-month-old baby to a local emergency room following concerns for shortness of breath. While in the ER, the baby’s respiratory rate declined rapidly, and it became necessary to intubate him. The ER physician failed to property intubate him on the first try, leading to a severe anoxic brain injury. The child survived but is now wheelchair- bound with severe cognitive and developmental delays. Bruce Kehoe and Emily Chimenti were able to resolve the case with the Qualified Healthcare Provider and subsequently obtained an additional $1.25 million in excess damages from the Patient’s Compensation Fund for the disabled child.
