$1.25
Million Recovery for Baby who Suffers from Canavan Disease |
| |
Attorney - Dennis Donnelly
Summer 2003
Dennis Donnelly obtained a 1.25 million dollar settlement, during trial, on behalf of the
family of a 4 year old girl who was born with Canavan Disease. The girl's parents, both of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, were at risk of having a child with this disease, but the mother's obstetrician
failed to perform any testing for the condition during her pregnancy,
despite recommendations to do so by the American College of
Medical Genetics. Canavan disease is a progressive neurologic
disease characterized by increased head circumference, decreasing
muscle tone and motor activity, progressive loss of visual responsiveness,
and mental retardation.
