Maricopa County in Arizona will pay $312,000 to the family of a boy who was injured during birth. In May 2003, doctors found that the boy was abnormally large but delivered him vaginally anyway.

The delivery led to severe permanent damage in the baby's right shoulder and injuries to the mother. The county operated medical center was held liable for the injuries and medical malpractice.
