After deliberating for three full days, a jury found St. Petersburg’s All Children’s Hospital 60% responsible for causing brain damage to a then three-month old baby and ordered the Pinellas hospital to pay $11 million. The jury award will go to Sabrina Smith in helping to care for her son who will need a lifetime worth of care due to the brain damage.
Smith, who was living in St. Petersburg in 2000, took her son Daniel to the hospital after he had been suffering from diarrhea and vomiting for days. After a 4 ½ hour stay at the hospital she was told she could take her son home. The next day he could barely breath and by the time she took him back to the hospital he had suffered irreversible brain injury according to a story on TampaBay.com.
