In Los Angeles, a medical malpractice case has ended with a jury ruling against Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The lawsuit, filed in 2005, alleged that the hospital failed to diagnose and treat meningitis in a baby, now 5 years old.

Because the child did not receive proper care in a timely manner, brain damage was caused. The jury awarded $7.3 million to the child, all of which will be placed in a trust for medical care.
