$4,850,000 Settlement for Obstetrical Malpractice Resulting in Injuries During Birth

Barry Eichen of Eichen Crutchlow Zaslow, LLP, obtained a $4.85 million settlement on behalf of a 7-year-old who sustained mild Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy as a result of Defendant obstetric doctor’s failure to recognize fetal distress on the fetal monitor while the infant’s mother was in labor. Defendant alleged that the fetal strips did not show fetal distress and even if they did, the doctor’s delay was not significant enough to cause the injury. This case was settled prior to trial by Attorney Barry R. Eichen, of Eichen Crutchlow Zaslow, LLP. (At the request of the parties involved and in the best interest of our client, the names, dates and facts surrounding this settlement are confidential).
