$4M Verdict Animating Vacuum-Assisted Birth Injury @HighImpactLegalExhibits

Uploaded July 2017 | Updated September 2026, 3 days ago

Vacuum-assisted births involve a doctor using a vacuum device to guide a baby out of the birth canal by the head. Normally, the vacuum is not applied until the baby reaches Station 3, toward the end of the birth canal. This procedure normally takes seven minutes.

The defendant doctor in this case started the vacuum at Station 0 - deep inside the birth canal. She also placed the vacuum improperly, cock-eyed around the side of the baby's skull. This doctor's procedure would take 25 minutes, and result in severe brain hemorrhaging, skull deformation, and permanent brain damage.

David Woodruff, Esq., needed a series of animations to show how this gross negligence caused his young client a lifetime of pain and suffering.

The presentation helped Mr. Woodruff return a $4M verdict - $5.5M after accounting for interest - in addition to a confidential settlement in an earlier part of the case.
