Minor Child v. OB/GYN
The failure to test our client’s mother for HIV resulted in her not being treated and the vertical transmission of the virus to her newborn baby. This case may have been the first of this nature in the United States. Had the mother been screened, her HIV detected there is a 67% chance treatment would have prevented her baby from being infected. Mr. Hinkle was able to obtain a substantial settlement that will provide for the extraordinary expenses and suffering incurred by this family. As a result of this claim and other efforts at HIV awareness, pregnant women are routinely screened for HIV.
