The obstetrician for an African-American couple failed to screen the pregnant mother for Sickle Cell Anemia in a recent case handled by Dennis Donnelly. Her internist also failed to perform this screening test which is readily available and which is standard medical procedure during a pregnancy.

Dennis argued that the testing would have shown the baby was suffering from this condition, and that corrective steps could have been taken in time.

Dennis obtained a $600,000 settlement for the parents.
