In this landmark medical malpractice case, the Oregon Court of Appeals held that a minor’s noneconomic damages were capped at $500,000 in lawsuits alleging negligent birth trauma. The court reasoned that such claims were not recognized at common law and should be, therefore, subject to damage award limitations imposed by the Oregon State Legislature. In appeal to Oregon Supreme Court, the issue of the cap applying to intra-uterine birth injury was left open, as the court held that the facts in this shoulder dystocia case did not involve an in utero injury.
