Goldfaden Partner, Dennis M. Donnelly, settled this wrongful birth case where an Obstetrician only gave genetic counseling
by telephone after an ultrasound report noted the absence
of Down Syndrome markers, but still noted some risk of abnormalities.
A radiologist also failed to specifically describe in his
ultrasound report, a cyst in the midbrain of the fetus.
The shortcomings in communication with the parents, and
the failure to properly report the brain cyst, deprived
the parents of the choice to undergo further testing and
elect to terminate the pregnancy.
