Twin Brain Damaged at Birth - $61,660,000 Verdict
In favor of our client, an injured twin (Twin "B"), who was delivered 42 minutes after his brother, (Twin "A") without being continually monitored for fetal distress. Twin "B" suffered asphyxia shortly prior to birth. We proved to the Jury that proper monitoring would have revealed signs of oxygen deprivation, which would have warranted an earlier delivery via cesarean section. Twin "B", now age 6 is intelligent, but requires the assistance of a walker or wheelchair and has difficulty with his speech. His brother, Twin "A", is fine.
Cerebral Palsy - $4,500,000 Verdict
In favor of our client, a newborn, and against the hospital which failed to render treatment to the infant who was having breathing difficulties. The infant had a normal delivery but developed problems breathing in the nursery despite observations by the nurse which indicated respiratory problems. No doctor arrived to assist the child, resulting in a mild case of cerebral palsy. The jury held that the child's brain damage was a result of medical malpractice.
Failure to Perform C-Section - $3,700,000 Settlement
Obtained on eve of trial for our client, an infant, who suffered permanent brain damage as a result of deprivation of oxygen, which, we asserted, was caused by the failure of the medical providers to recognize the need for a Cesarian Section in lieu of a natural delivery.
