US EditionJury Awards Massive Settlement To GA Parents After Baby Decapitated During Delivery
- A Fulton County jury awarded $2.25 million to the parents of an infant who was decapitated during childbirth at Southern Regional Medical Center in July 2023.
- The baby’s death followed a prolonged labor and accusations that Dr. Tracey St. Julian used excessive force causing the decapitation, while nurses allegedly failed to advocate for a timely C-section.
- The couple hired Dr. Jackson Gates to conduct a private autopsy, but he posted graphic videos of the infant’s autopsy on Instagram without permission, prompting a separate lawsuit against him.
- A jury held Gates responsible for causing emotional distress, violating privacy, and committing fraud, resulting in a $2 million compensatory award and $250,000 in punitive damages, while criticizing his lack of compassion.
- Ross and Taylor’s attorneys praised the verdict as a message that doctors must respect patients’ feelings, while litigation against Southern Regional Medical Center and the delivering physician remains pending.
