An Augusta hospital and doctor have agreed to pay nearly $3.6 million to settle medical malpractice claims filed by a former Army soldier after her son suffered fetal brain damage.

The settlement includes more than $1.4 million in attorney fees and comes after a federal judge refused to approve the arrangement last month unless its terms were made public. It also includes more than $150,000 in legal expenses and notes that a similar amount is expected to come from a separate, pending settlement with the U.S. government, a co-defendant.
