Contact Wilmington, NC, accident attorney Gary Shipman if you or a family member has been injured in a car, truck or SUV accident, as a result of medical or nursing home malpractice, or suffered any injury as a result of another person's or company's negligence. http://wilmington.injuryboard.com/tag/Injured+Children/ <p> <p>In the winter of 2007, a newborn suffered severe and permanent injuries, including disfiguring burns, as a result of malfunctioning respirator and humidifier. Thermal burn resulted in air so hot that it melted the plastic tubing to the baby's nose. Lawyers for the family today announced that a settlement had been reached in the case for $18.5 million. </p> <p>This is a terrific result. Children are our most precious resource and deserve the best protection and the utmost care. It is truly tragic when something so horrific happens to a child, especially a newborn. I am happy to hear that the negligent defendants did the right thing and settled this case without having the family go through a lengthy and arduous lawsuit.</p> <p> </p> </p> <p> </p><a href="http://wilmington.injuryboard.com/medical-malpractice/settlement-reached-in-case-of-newborn-burned-by-malfunctioning-respiratorhumidifier.aspx?googleid=251982">Originally posted</a> at <a href="http://www.InjuryBoard.com">InjuryBoard</a> by <a href="http://www.injuryboard.com/Jean-Martin/">Jean Martin</a> http://wilmington.injuryboard.com/medical-malpractice/settlement-reached-in-case-of-newborn-burned-by-malfunctioning-respiratorhumidifier.aspx?googleid=251982 Wilmington Personal Injury Lawyer - Injured Children Medical Malpractice children injured children defective products medical malpractice Jean Martin Fri, 21 Nov 2008 14:48:45 GMT
