A Sacramento judge approved a $5.75 million settlement to the parents of a 4-year-old boy who filed a medical malpractice suit against the UC Davis Medical Center. The parents' attorneys claimed that the injuries sustained during childbirth on December 1, 2004 caused the plaintiff, Cannon Hoops, to suffer permanent neurological injuries.

Superior Court Judge David I. Brown endorsed the compromised agreement.

"As a result of the injury to his brain during his birth, the minor plaintiff has cerebral palsy and will require lifetime attendant care for his basic activities of daily living," Beverly Hills lawyer Dr. Bruce G. Fagel said in a declaration.

The settlement is the largest the university system has ever paid to settle a medical malpractice claim.
