Record settlement for N.S. boy who suffered brain damage at birth
HALIFAX — A seven-year-old Nova Scotia boy who suffered brain damage at birth has received a $6 million settlement — the largest of its kind in the province’s history.
The lawsuit said Cullen Chisholm suffered oxygen deprivation during his delivery which caused severe cerebral palsy.
Lawyer John McKiggan says Cullen requires constant care.
“He is unable to care for himself in any way and will require 24 hour attendant care for the rest of his life,” McKiggan said Monday.
