Kaiser Permanente is paying $3.2 million to a 14-year-old Lake Forest, California girl who was not breathing and suffered brain damage when delivered by Caesarean section.

The birthing malpractice settlement was reached this month after a binding arbitration decision in favor of the family of Ariana Ehtemam. Court documents show the girl now suffers physical and behavioral problems.

The $3.2 million has purchased an annuity worth $20 million over her lifetime. She will receive the first payment when she turns 18 years old.
