A mother whose son suffered severe brain damage during birth is set to receive potentially the biggest medical negligence payout in history. The High Court ruled today that United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust must pay in excess of £14.6 million for birth injuries, after failing to carry out a Caesarean section on Suzanne Adams and properly monitor her during labour. The hospital's negligence led to her son James Robshaw, now 12, being born with cerebral palsy. The decision, believed to be one of the most significant in a case of medical negligence and the largest ever such court-ordered award for birth injury, reflects the lifetime care that James needs.Suzanne Adams' son James was starved of oxygen and has cerebral palsyStaff 'failed to monitor her properly or perform a Caesarean section'United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust must pay sum, High Court ruledDecision is largest ever court-ordered award for birth injury, lawyer says
