Queens Birth Injury Case

This is a case of personal injuries sustained by the infant plaintiff as a result of medical malpractice. The medical malpractice occurred while he was under the care of the defendants and Queens Hospital #1, its agents, servants & employees.

Briefly, it was plaintiffs' theory that the defendants were negligent and departed from standards of good and accepted medical practice in failing to properly treat the infant plaintiff in-utero prior to delivery, upon and after his birth, thereby causing the infant-plaintiff a significant amount of brain damage furthermore, never allowing him to live a normal life.

 

On September 26th, the mother presented to defendant, Queens Hospital #1, in labor. A sonogram revealed the amniotic fluid was substantially abnormal. The mother’s labor was noted as “painful” and she was complaining of rectal pressure. Hours later there was artificial rupture of the membranes. The infant plaintiff sustained substantial bradycardia. Due to the negligence of the defendants and their assumption that the mother would deliver shortly an amnioinfusion was never given.

 

The infant plaintiff was delivered via “low forceps”. The hospital record noted among other things that the umbilical cord was wrapped around the infant plaintiff’s neck “times two”, a meconium stained oropharynx which was “suctioned”, upon admission to the nursery the infant’s color appeared “dusky” and he was in respiratory distress.

 

The infant plaintiff was transferred to Queens Hospital #2. He remained in Queens Hospital #2 for approximately one month. The mother was informed that her son was being transferred due to his breathing difficulties. She was never informed of his condition and what his future developmental delays would be.

Since birth, the infant plaintiff among other things has suffered meconium staining, meconium aspiration syndrome, a severe seizure disorder, cortical blind, spastic quadriplegia, severe cerebral palsy, cannot go to the bathroom alone, cannot feed himself, he can not speak, he is confined to a wheelchair, has continuous pain and discomfort, has lost enjoyment and quality of life, and has psychological and emotional trauma, and will be unable to live independently or work. He also requires constant personal assistance and can never be left un-chaperoned.

 

As a result of the medical malpractice that occurred in the Queens Hospital and a multitude of injuries suffered by the infant plaintiff, the infant and mother received a substantial multimillion dollar recovery.
