From Australia, more evidence that the presence of liability insurance may tend to lead ineluctably to the alleged causation of cerebral palsy:
An Adelaide teenager suffering from cerebral palsy is suing his mother after she crashed into a tree when he was a foetus. Supreme Court documents claim Sylvia Neave, of Ferryden Park, was negligent and breached her duty of care as a mother to her unborn child.
Under law, Graham Neave, 16, has to sue his mother and [the state of South Australia’s] compulsory third party insurer, the Motor Accident Commission, in his bid to gain an estimated $3.5 million compensation.
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital also is part of his claim for allegedly failing to treat him “sufficiently early or at all” before his emergency delivery.
