Single Mom and Newborn with Brain Injury Obtain Multi-Million Dollar Recovery

We helped our client, a single mother, bring a medical malpractice action against a major hospital, her obstetrician, and her gynecologist because of their failure to properly care for her and her baby while she was pregnant. Our medical experts found that the irreversible brain damage to her son was caused by the medical staff's failure to deliver him earlier than his due date. This failure was particularly egregious because medical tests conducted a full week before his scheduled delivery date showed that the baby needed to be born sooner. The infant sustained brain damage because of this oversight. Our client was lacking in legal funds, so we expended a lot of money in costs for expert witnesses and depositions. The recovery in this case was $3,250,000.
