Attorney - John
Blume
Summer 2003
Blume Goldfaden partner, John Blume, recovered
$900,000 on behalf of a family whose 8 year old son suffered
brain injury after his physicians failed to timely diagnose
and treat hyperbilirubinemia. Hyperbilirubinemia , or a high
level of bilirubin in the blood can be due to an overproduction
and/or under excretion of bilirubin. Extremely high levels can
be harmful, causing brain damage. The condition can effectively
be treated, if caught early enough, by photo therapy.
