A 38-year-old New York woman, Llaulin Cruz has been awarded $50 million after she won a trial against an obstetrician on Friday.
Llaulin filed her lawsuit after she had a botched childbirth by obstetrician Michael Ihemaguba at St. Barnabas Hospital in 2009. After a month-long trial, the jury awarded Cruz $40 million for future pain and suffering, and $10 million for past suffering.
While her baby was delivered without any problem during the botched procedure, Llaulin could not be the woman she once was!!
During the procedure, the doctor urged her to continue to push after the newborn’s head was already out. The doctor also performed a controlled cut called an episiotomy in a manner that was wrong.
Due to these TWO mistakes, Llaulin had to undergo dozens of surgeries, and now has lost some of the ability to control her bladder.
She told a local newspaper that she has to wear panty liners everywhere she goes.
