Daryl Zaslow: Your Trusted Advocate for Justice

New Jersey medical malpractice lawyer, Daryl Zaslow, has obtained multi-million dollar recoveries for clients in other cases involving negligent prenatal screening of birth defects and genetic disorders. Such cases have involved failures to detect cystic fibrosis and congenital heart defects. Mr. Zaslow regularly handles cases involving the negligent performance of complex prenatal screening tests and he has given national lectures on handling such cases. Mr. Zaslow obtained an $8.2 million verdict in a wrongful birth malpractice case in which Mr. Zaslow represented a four-year-old child with Down syndrome and his parents. Mr. Zaslow argued that the defendants not only failed to order the requisite prenatal screening tests but also failed to properly interpret a prenatal ultrasound that showed markers for Down syndrome. Mr. Zaslow argued that the ultrasound markers necessitated that the mother be offered an amniocentesis. Had an amniocentesis been performed it would have diagnosed Down syndrome, and the mother would have terminated the pregnancy, thereby avoiding the extraordinary costs and mental anguish associated with raising and caring for a person with Down syndrome.

Mr. Zaslow’s success for his clients extends beyond medical malpractice cases. For example, in a negligent security case he obtained a $7.8 million dollar recovery on behalf of the Estate of a 29-year-old wife and mother who was murdered and her seven-month-old son who was stabbed during a robbery and attack. A portion of the settlement was used to purchase annuities, making the total value of the settlement over $14,323,000.00. The attack occurred at an apartment complex and Mr. Zaslow argued that the Defendants were negligent in failing to have a uniformed security guard on the premises 24 hours a day. The case was ultimately settled a week into the trial.
