Holding the Negligent Accountable
An OB nurse could not pick up fetal heart tones, but she didn't call the obstetrician in the middle of the night because she didn't want to wake him up. Because of her negligence, the child was born quadriplegic. Our successful birth injury lawsuit ensured that held those responsible for the injury paid accountable for the damages they caused.
