Teen Wins $4 Million Verdict for Neonatal Treatment
Haylee Ann Kroll and her parents
were awarded a $4.3 million verdict for her brain damage caused
by two doctors at Coral Springs Medical Center.
Haylee’s mother was running a fever when
she gave birth at Coral Springs Medical Center in 1994. In
line with standard operating procedures, Haylee was immediately
taken to the neonatal intensive care unit and received medication
for an infection. As a result of a misdiagnosis, Haylee had
a stroke just days after her birth that left her brain-damaged
and partially blind with auditory defects.
Linda Alley of Sheldon J. Schlesinger, P.A.
claimed the doctors were negligent in failing to detect the
symptoms which were apparent for two days. The jury agreed,
finding negligence by two neonatalogists in delaying 65 hours
to give Haylee a platelet transfusion.
