$2.85
Million Dollar Settlement - Birth Injury |
| |
Attorney: Michael B. Zerres
Spring 2006
A child
born in July 1991 received a $2.85 million dollar settlement
for medical malpractice which occurred prior to his birth.
The mother, who was 16 years old at the time, was a clinic
patient at a Middlesex County New Jersey hospital. When
she went into labor she was managed by a team of residents
who failed to appreciate that the fetal heart tracings,
her elevated temperature and prolonged labor pattern required
consultation with an attending and prompt delivery by cesarean
section. When an attending was ultimately involved, there
was a further delay in proceeding to delivery as a result
of an attempted forceps delivery, which failed. The child
when born, was hypoxic and developed seizures. He went onto
be significantly developmentally delayed and requires special
education and medication to control seizures. Blume Goldfaden
partner, Michael Zerres, represented the boy and his family.
