A young British lady identified a Evie Toombes has won her βwrong conceptionβ case against her motherβs doctor.
The 20 year old from Lincolnshire, UK had dragged her mumβs doctor to court for allowing her to be born with a permanent health condition.
The health condition called lipomylomeningocoele (LMM) is as a result of a gap in her spine because it failed to develop while she was in the womb.
Evie whose condition forced her to become a frequent visitor to the hospital to receive tubes into her body, said the doctor failed to prescribe vital supplements that would have averted the problem, WioNews reports.
The compensation will cover her extensive care needs for life At a Londonβs High Court ruling which held on Wednesday, December 1, Judge Rosalind Coe QC backed the ladyβs claim and awarded her a huge compensation for damages.
According to the New York Post, Evieβs lawyers said the amount she is claiming hasnβt been calculated yet but it sure is a big one as it will cover her extensive care needs for the rest of her life.
Judge Rosalind found out that the doctor had truly not told the ladyβs mother importance of taking folic acid supplements before getting pregnant.
And if she had been told, she would have delayed conceiving and instead had a different, totally healthy, baby,βΒ the judge added.
