Attorney: Kenneth
Berkowitz
Settlement: $1,050,000.
Fall 2007
Kenneth
Berkowitz negotiated a $1,050,000 settlement on behalf of
two surviving children whose mother died following a failure to diagnose her gestational diabetes. Their mother was 25
weeks pregnant when she presented to the L&D Room of
a local hospital due to decreased fetal movement and contractions.
Although a urine analysis revealed glucose levels above
normal, she was discharged with instructions to follow up
with her own obstetrician for a scheduled blood glucose
test 2 days later. Within 24 hours of discharge, the decedent
was admitted to another area hospital with seizures and
in a hyperosmolar nonketotic coma. Her blood sugar had risen
to 1527 mg/dl. Both she and her infant fetus died later
that day.
