| Attorney: Carol L. Forte Settlement: $6.5 Million Spring 2007 Blume
Goldfaden Partner, Carol L. Forte, represented a severely neurologically
impaired child. At the time of the child’s birth in 1999
at Monmouth Medical Center in New Jersey, despite the ominous
pattern displayed on the fetal monitoring strips, the supervising
attending obstetrician, the obstetric residents and two nurses
all failed to recognize the signs and symptoms of fetal distress
during the labor period. The defendants failed to perform a timely
Cesarean section delivery of the child in light of this fetal
distress, and permitted the mother to labor for 10 hours, during
which time the baby sustained an ongoing lack of oxygen to the
brain causing severe brain damage. The child is now institutionalized
in Connecticut. Ms. Forte obtained a $6.5 million settlement in
this case. |
