A federal judge in Harrisburg has ordered the United States to pay $42 million to a family whose baby suffered brain injuries during delivery because of a federally employed doctor’s unnecessary use of forceps.
In her findings of fact and conclusions of law issued Thursday, U.S. District Judge Sylvia H. Rambo of the Middle District of Pennsylvania ordered the government to compensate Christina Late and Nathan Amolt, parents of D.A., for the brain damage their child suffered as a result of a cracked skull and destruction of parts of his brain during delivery. The ruling comes days after the government was ordered to pay $4 million in a separate birth injury case.
