A federal judge has awarded $42 million to the parents of a Pennsylvania boy left disabled because of brain injuries caused by a doctor who used forceps to deliver the boy.

The verdict delivered Thursday by a federal judge in Harrisburg stems from a six-day trial in September on claims by a Chambersburg couple, Christiana Late and Nathan Armolt.

Their son understands language but can’t speak, read or write and will eventually have to use a motorized wheelchair.

Most of the verdict — about $33 million — is to cover the boy’s future medical care.
