Winter 2007
Attorney: Jeffrey Zenna
Jeffrey Zenna represented a 7 year old girl in this medical
malpractice case. The girl sustained a brachial plexus injury,
caused at birth by the negligence of an obstetrician. The
brachial plexus nerves control shoulder, arm, wrist and
finger function. A shoulder dystocia was encountered during
delivery (where the shoulders get "stuck"), and
the proper maneuvers were not utilized to free the impacted
shoulders. Too much force to the head and neck were applied
by the delivering obstetrician during the birth. The injury
to the brachial plexus nerves mildly affects the girl's
control of her shoulder and arm, and required physical therapy.
Jeffrey Zenna settled this case for $525,000.
