Blume Donnelly partner John Blume recovered $900,000 on behalf of a family whose eight-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.

I had a fantastic experience with this firm. From the moment I reached out for legal assistance, they displayed professionalism and expertise.
