$1 Million Partial Settlement for Failure to Recognize
Signs of Meningitis in Infant
 
Attorney - John Blume
Spring 1997

Kazazian v. Jariwala et al

The pediatrician who cared for a Passiac County infant failed to examine, recognize or test for meningitis even though the mother advised the physician by telephone that the child was irritable, moaning, not eating and running a high temperature. Because the pediatrician did not act properly, the child, Alexia Kazazian, now four years old, suffers from seizures, is hemiplegic and visually impaired.

In a partial settlement, Blume, Goldfaden Principal John Blume obtained $ 1 million for the family of the child, the full amount of the pediatrician's policy. A separate claim is still pending against St. Joseph's Hospital, and certain residents and nurses who also failed to promptly examine and treat the child, after her parents brought the child to the emergency room.
