A baby born in Chicago who had part of his penis amputated after a complication during a circumcision has won more than $1.3 million in damages, reports Daily Mail.

Daniel Burden lost part of his penis after a botched circumcision when he was just 12-hours-old and has been awarded $1,357,901.12 from a jury. Burden, now five, was rushed to Children’s Memorial Hospital where a doctor was able to reattach the cut off portion.

Doctors expect Burden’s penis to be fully functional, but he will have to live with moderate scaring and the risk of altered nerve sensation in the area.

The defendants argued that the accidental amputation was a known risk during the circumcision and that the plaintiff accepted that risk.

If your baby has suffered as the result of another’s negligence, contact Parrish Law Firm, PLLC at 703-906-4229 or send us an email and tell us about your case.

    01 How Soon Should I Contact a Lawyer After an Accident?
    Contacting a lawyer immediately after an accident is crucial to protect your legal rights, preserve evidence, and avoid missing deadlines that could impact your case.
    02 Should I Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters?
    It's wise to avoid speaking with insurance adjusters without consulting an attorney first, as they may use the information against you to minimize your compensation or reject your claim entirely.
    03 What if the Other Driver is Lying About the Accident?
    Gathering evidence like witness statements and photographs will help prove your side of the story. The best way to fight a false narrative by the at-fault driver is with facts that prove the truth.
    04 What Happens to My Lost Wages?
    If you can't work because of an injury from someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, benefits, and bonuses. An attorney can help you pursue that compensation through negotiations or litigation.
    05 How is Parrish Law Firm Different?
    Founding partner James R. Parrish knows the best strategies for fighting for fair compensation from insurance companies because he used to represent the insurancers in personal injury cases. A background of working on the other side of personal injury claims gives him the insider knowledge necessary to take on these deep-pocketed companies.
    06 How Long Do I Have to Settle My Case?
    There is no strict time limit on settling a personal injury claim. However, there are restrictions on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, you must file your personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. The time it takes to settle a case depends on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the motivations of both parties. These cases can last from a few months to several years.
