Failure to Diagnose Fetal
Distress and Timely Perform a C-Section Delivery - Settlement
$2 Million
Attorney - John
M. Blume & Carol Forte
Fall 2005
John Blume and Carol Forte worked together on a case involving
a child who now has Cerebral Palsy. The obstetrician failed
to diagnose fetal distress during labor, and delayed in ordering
a C-section delivery of the child. As a result of this,
the child was deprived of oxygen for a prolonged time and suffered
severe brain damage. The case was settled for the full
amount of the $1 Million insurance policy of the obstetrician,
plus an additional joint contribution of $1 Million from the
obstetric nurse and the hospital.
