Minnesota woman awarded $9M in childbirth suit

A Hennepin County jury has awarded $8.9 million to a Bradford, Minn., mother who says that an Allina Health midwife ignored concerns about the size of her baby during her pregnancy and then mishandled the delivery, causing the boy severe and lasting injuries.

The jury ruled Friday in favor of Sirena Samuelson, whose son suffered a broken right arm and severe nerve damage after his birth on Jan. 22, 2016.
