Real Results for Real People
Birth Injury
$10.2 Million
A mother in labor arrived at a hospital and over the course of labor, began experiencing unusual contractions known to cause fetal harm. These signs went unappreciated causing the infant to sustain an acute asphyxic event minutes before birth, and leaving her with significant brain damage.
Birth Injury
$9.6 Million
Attorneys William Crutchlow and Barry Eichen obtained a $9,600,000 settlement on Obstetrical Malpractice concerning a monochorionic pregnancy, in which the demise of twin B and a delay in the delivery of twin A resulted in severe brain damage to the surviving twin.
Wrongful Birth
$9 Million
William O. Crutchlow recently resolved this medical and nursing malpractice case arising from brain injuries sustained by a young boy during the labor and delivery process leading up to his birth. After a delay in delivery of several hours during which the baby was oxygen deprived, the child was born with profound brain damage.
Birth Injury
$26.9-37.1 Million
Daryl L. Zaslow obtained a settlement on behalf of a 4-year-old girl with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and her family. A portion of the settlement is being used to purchase annuities, making the total value of the settlement between $26,952,301 – $37,150,273. This settlement appears to be the largest settlement ever reported in a birth injury case in New Jersey.

“Being a registered nurse along with my husband being a physician, we understand the decision to pursue legal action for medical issues is a difficult one. After the birth of our second child, we contemplated consulting an attorney for a long time, almost 20 years. After getting a strong recommendation and enough courage, we decided to consult with Daryl Zaslow. After our first meeting, we knew we had made the right decision. At a time when we felt we could not trust anyone, we brought our worry and stress to him and he put our minds at ease. Daryl’s candor, confidence, and determination restored our faith that our child would finally receive the justice she deserved after so many years. We highly recommend Daryl Zaslow along with his staff, and the firm. Daryl’s guidance and strength helped us when we thought all hope was lost and we are sincerely grateful for all that he has done for our family.” Rita P., R.N. & Louis P., M.D.”
