UK Family Wins 8.3 Million in CP Case

A delayed birth delivery resulted in a lifetime of effects from Cerebral Palsy for now 7-year-old Colin Scott. Though no settlement can change that, Colin's family has brought awareness to the issue and will be able to better meet his future care needs after a UK court awarded them £4.2m, or about $8.3 million in a medical negligence case.

Additionally, after the case of Colin and his twin who were born in March 2001 at the Hexham General Hospital, their parents are relieved to know that the hospital will no longer deliver twins and the staff will receive better training.

Many children are affected by cerebral palsy as a result of birth injury - and many parents of these children are unaware that a medical mistake during delivery could potentially be a cause. The case of young Colin may help generate such awareness - at least in the UK.
