According to the Manchester Union Leader the amount of the settlement is $5 Million.
The parents of a severely brain-damaged New Hampshire boy will be awarded $5 million to pay for his long-term care, under a settlement of a lawsuit filed against the doctor and nurse who handled the boy’s delivery at Melrose-Wakefield Hospital.
Michelle and Kendall Turner, of Bedford, N.H., sued Dr. Mitchell Zager and nurse Mary Doran after their son, Dustin, 5, was born on July 11, 2001, with severe neurological damage.
