An important medical malpractice ruling where the parents of a brain damaged infant received $70 million in damages was overturned by the New Jersey state Supreme Court
The reason they tossed the verdict and ordered a new trial was because of exposed bias against medical professionals.
Also mentioned were numerous errors where expert testimony was prevented from consideration.
The baby was born with spina bofida and underwent surgery to remove a cyst near his spine, but while recuperating, his brain was deprived of oxygen for several minutes.
The trial alleged the breathing tube became dislodged and a nurse and a doctor failed to take appropriate action and that another doctor failed to train them properly.
The justices remanded the case for another trial.

It is of extreme importance to seek guidance from medical experts, who can be very lavish to hire. Medical Malpractice being a vastly technical field of law, it is more often than not best to go to a public prosecutor who specializes in medical malpractice cases.
