UNPREPARED FOR EMERGENCY CAESAREAN |

Attorney - Carol Forte
Spring 1993
Orange Hospital and its chief administrator were named in a suit on
behalf of a child who suffered brain damage due to a delay in
the baby's delivery. When the woman entered the hospital on
a Saturday night in 1982, and it was determined the baby was
in fetal distress, it took more than one and one-half hours
for the hospital to locate the necessary medical personnel to
perform a caesarean, and to transport the patient to an operating
room far removed from the labor and delivery area.
Because Blume Goldfaden attorneys showed that the hospital's chief administrator
knew for five years that the distance between the obstetrical
area and operating room posed a danger, the jury awarded a verdict
in favor of the plaintiff and against the executive and the
hospital of $5.2 million.
Handled by Carol Forte, this was the largest verdict ever attained in
New Jersey by a female attorney.
