Alaska Injury Law BlogRichard E. Vollertsen of the Alaska Personal Injury Law Group, announced that a settlement was reached in an FTCA claim asserted against the Norton Sound Regional Hospital.

The child suffered irreversible brain damage, spastic quadriparesis, profound cognitive and developmental deficits, cortical blindness, and incontinence. Lifelong care will be provided for the child through a Special Needs Trust. Stipulated facts filed in federal court regarding the hospital’s medical errors can be found at A.A. v.
