Brian Nurse Wins $6m Medical Negligence Suit
Wow, this man had to go through a lot in order to win this case. I'm glad he did and I hope more people can come forward with cases like this.
QUOTE A mere week before Father's Day, Valencia resident Brian Nurse is basking in a medical victory on behalf of his beloved twin sons Jared and Jerrend. Nurse created history when he successfully challenged the State over hospital negligence-and won a landmark $6.4 million. To date, he has been paid $1.6 million. The red letter day was December 13, 2010. In a nutshell, Nurse's wife Gillian Nichols gave birth to a healthy baby Jared and Jerrend-who is stricken with cerebral palsy.
Nurse cast the blame solely at the feet of the ERHA (Eastern Regional Health Authority) and the medical team at the Sangre Grande Hospital. They were responsible for the botched delivery on September 26, 2002. While doting on Jerrend, whom he affectionately calls JJ, Nurse said: "It's an historical breakthrough. This matter was in court. It finally came to a decision to award $6.4 million. They are saying they are going to appeal the case because it is too much. "It's a landmark. In all the history, they have never paid $6.4 million for negligence in the hospital." Source 2
