In January of 1990, Amelia Saragosa was only 19 years-old and scared. She was pregnant, but too afraid to tell her parents. She had never been to a doctor for prenatal care, and she had no health insurance. When Amelia’s son—Gabriel—was finally delivered, laboratory tests showed that Gabriel had experienced hypoxia—a severe loss of oxygen—during the minutes before his delivery. Hypoxia is a known cause of brain damage. In late 2008 Chris Hurley and Mark McKenna met with Amelia and Gabriel, and agreed to take their case to trial. They spent the next year aggressively getting the case ready for trial: obtaining and reviewing evidence, deposing witnesses, hiring expert witnesses, and engaging in the legal and medical research. At the end of the trial, Hurley McKenna & Mertz obtained a $9,000,000 jury verdict for Gabriel. Watch this video by Sprout Films to learn more about the Saragosas and how Chris and Mark approached the case.
