Our clients youngest son was born in 2002, following a serious car accident that left his parents with severe injuries. The accident caused significant damage to the mother’s chest and abdomen, producing biological stress and an increase in circulating stress hormones. These hormones had a direct impact on the child in utero, leading to a disruption in the development of multiple organ systems and resulting in a condition known as VATER abnormality, which caused severe developmental issues. The child was born prematurely and suffered a severe brain injury, leading to extremely severe physical and psychological deficits.
The family’s case was based on the allegation that the Defendant Hospital overlooked several warning signs on ultrasound scans and failed to notify the parents of the child’s defects. As a result, their son was born with an extremely low quality of life, and they faced enormous costs, both financial and psychological, in raising a severely disabled child.
The family reached out to Gerard Malouf & Partners, seeking justice for the devastating situation they found themselves in. Our Medical Negligence team, well-versed in handling intricate cases, took on the matter with the help of Mr Keegan Behrens.
Â
For years, Mr Behrens dedicated himself to the case, gathering evidence and seeking expert opinions from across Australia. He had to understand the complex medical issues at hand, as well as the legal procedures of South Australia. The team’s efforts exemplify how GMP’s Medical Negligence team goes beyond expectations to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients.
Finally, in 2019, the family’s case was settled for $2,600,000. The compensation will cover the costs of raising their disabled son, who is now a young adult. Additionally, the family will be able to access care from the National Disability Insurance Agency to ensure their son is provided for in the future.
GMP Law has a large team that practices exclusively in medical negligence and personal injury cases. We understand how to maximise compensation and have the skills and experience to achieve that.Â
