A Massachusetts woman has won a $6.4 million dollar lawsuit in a medical malpractice case. The woman claims that she suffered brain damage during her pregnancy when her doctor failed to treat her condition of preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a condition in pregnant women that can cause high blood pressure if left untreated.
In this case, the pregnant woman's preeclampsia went untreated by the doctor and caused a serious injury. The untreated condition then led the woman to suffer a brain bleed during the pregnancy. The brain bleed then caused the woman brain damage. The baby was delivered safely, however the mother did suffer from her injuries.
