With more than 35 years of experience representing plaintiffs who have sustained serious personal injuries or financial losses, the trial lawyers of BIREN|KATZMAN have successfully handled hundreds of cases, collecting more than $250 million for our clients. The following case is just one example:
DOE V. ROE GYNECOLOGIST
Baby With Brain Injury Resulting From Gynecologist's Negligence Paid Policy Limits
Baby Doe was too big for her tiny mother to deliver. The gynecologist should have known this and ordered a Caesarian section birth. Instead, he tried to deliver the baby with the use of a vacuum.
The baby's shoulder became stuck; shoulder dystocia. As a result oxygen was cut off to the baby's brain and damage occurred. Although the baby did remarkably well during her first year and a half, the experts brought in by BIREN|KATZMAN established that the damage is more severe than so far has manifested and will cause problems for the baby throughout her life.
The doctor's insurance company tendered his policy limits of $1 million in settlement of the claim.
