San Diego hospital agreed to pay $4.15 million

A San Diego hospital agreed yesterday to pay $4.15 million to the parents of a girl born two years ago with severe brain damage caused by what the family's lawyer labeled "outrageous" medical treatment. The child's parents — Laura Gonzales, 45, a health physics manager, and Michael Gonzales, 48, a chemical specialist — said they refused to settle the case without the hospital admitting wrongdoing. The couple said the money received in the settlement still won't cover the projected costs of caring for their daughter. Attorney Bruce G. Fagel said the baby suffered brain damage due to a series of hospital staff missteps in the days leading up to the child's birth.- The Law Offices of Bruce G. Fagel & Associates
