Sample Cases

Philadelphia
A $3.6 million dollar settlement for medical negligence causing brain damage to an infant who had distress during labor at a suburban hospital. Over a dozen experts were presented in support of our claim for this minor child.

Philadelphia
$2.9 million and $2 million dollar settlement in unrelated cases involving severely brain injured infants with cerebral palsy. In each case, there was a delay in performing cesarean section delivery causing perinatal asphyxia. Plaintiffs had eight (8) experts.

Blair County
A $1.1 million dollar award after one-day binding high-low arbitration held in Pittsburgh. The claim filed in Blair County concerned dental malpractice against an oral-maxillofacial surgeon who unnecessarily performed surgery to split the jaw bone of a 50-year-old woman already on disability. The surgery failed and the results were concealed from the patient.
