Errors our cases have uncovered. Families compensated for injuries.
Major settlements and verdicts from our cerebral palsy cases have provided compensation that will take care of these children for the rest of their lives. Among the cases are:
- Missed, ignored or misinterpreted warning signs on fetal heart monitors-More information on Electronic Fetal Monitoring
- Unnecessarily delayed C-sections
- Failure to resuscitate a newborn needing help breathing
- Failure to diagnose or treat an infection
- Negligent application of vacuum extractor equipment or forceps
- Misdiagnosis of fetal position in the uterus
Our medical and legal staff
Our team includes a board-certified ObGyn, Giles Manley, MD with more than 20 years experience in the medical profession and well-over 2,000 infant deliveries. He became an attorney to become an advocate for families whose children were injured at birth. Attorneys Howard Janet and Dov Apfel are nationally known for their legal expertise and ability to uncover the truth about birth injuries. Also our staff includes former labor and delivery nurses. Our firm also works with some of the leading experts in the field.
Our clients’ Life Care Plans
When our families receive a verdict or settlement for birth injuries, the judge will require a Life Care Plan. This plan makes sure the funds will last for the life of the child from everyday needs like diapers to long-term needs such as education and major surgeries. A Certified Life Care Planner works with the child’s doctors, nurses and rehabilitation specialists to create a plan that is specific to the child.
Working with CPFamily Network.
Many of our clients are part of the CPFamily Network non-profit organization, which provides resources for children with cerebral palsy and their families whether there was a birth injury or not. They have developed CP Survival Guides for all 50 states and a Care Guide for families.
