A New London jury has awarded $4.2 million to a child who sustained permanent nerve damage during her difficult 2009 birth, according to court records.
The jury reached the verdict Friday at the end of a six-day trial in Connecticut Superior Court. The suit was filed in 2011 on behalf of Jenniyah Georges by her mother, Maria Leoma, against Bridgeport-based Ob-Gyn Services and certified nurse midwife Brenda Gilmore. The family, which lived in Norwich when Jenniyah was born, now lives in Pennsylvania.
