INFANT
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CASE SETTLED FOR
2.4 MILLION DOLLARS |
| |
Attorney - John Blume
Spring 1994
In March,
John Blume negotiated a 2.4 million dollar settlement for Blume
Goldfaden clients on behalf of their ten year old daughter.
This medical negligence lawsuit against St. Joseph's Hospital
(Paterson, NJ) and several of its nurses and physicians was
filed four years ago, after the parents sought help for their
daughter's neurological problems which affect her behavior and
limit her intellectual abilities.
In June
1983 the mother, pregnant with her first child, was admitted
to St. Joseph's. Already past her due date, she spent two days
in the hospital before her daughter was born and was seen only
once by the attending physician supervising the residents who
treated her.
Because
of the substandard treatment given to the mother, their daughter
suffered from hypoxia, a lack of oxygen, which caused permanent
neurological damage.
