Excerpt from ABC News: (click for entire article)
The parents of a four-year-old Oregon girl with Down syndrome were awarded $2.9 million after doctors misdiagnosed their daughter as not having the condition during a prenatal screening.
Ariel and Deborah Levy of Portland, Ore., filed a “wrongful birth” lawsuit against Legacy Health System, claiming that they would have terminated the pregnancy had they known they would have a special-needs child.
The Levys said the doctors were “negligent in their performance, analysis and reporting” of test results after their child was born as well.
