Southern California Brain Injury Settlement

Posted on February 1, 2008 by David Austin

An arbitration panel has awarded a $3.2 million verdict to a family.

Kaiser Permanente is paying $3.2 million to a 14-year-old Lake Forest girl who wasn't breathing and suffered brain damage when delivered by Caesarean section.

The birthing malpractice settlement was reached this month after a binding arbitration decision in favor of the family of Ariana Ehtemam.

Court documents show the girl now suffers physical and behavioral problems. The $3.2 million has purchased an annuity worth $20 million over her lifetime. She will receive the first payment at 18.
