CHICAGO — The mother of a minor is suing Michael Reese Health Trust, alleging the hospital was negligent in administering prenatal care before her daughter's birth in 2007.

Dorothy Hawkins filed a complaint on June 1 in Cook County Circuit Court on behalf of her daughter alleging the hospital failed to provide proper medical care before her daughter was born.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges her daughter suffered serious injuries while in prenatal care at the hospital. The plaintiff holds Michael Reese Health Trust responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to properly diagnose her daughter's health condition, which caused injury.

The plaintiff seeks judgment against the defendant in an amount greater than $50,000 plus court costs. She is represented by James T. Ball of Ball Law Group in Chicago.
