At Duffy & Duffy, our experienced lawyers help families pursue compensation for birth injuries caused by medical negligence. If your child was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, it might be due to medical errors such as improper use of delivery tools or failure to perform a timely C-section. Our New York Cerebral Palsy lawyers can answer your questions and help in pursuing compensation that you and your child are entitled to.
Birth injuries may not be immediately apparent. Signs include difficulty breathing, seizures, or muscle weakness in newborns, and later issues like speech difficulties or coordination problems. These injuries can result from improper medical care during childbirth.
Cerebral Palsy can be caused by factors like oxygen deprivation or medical mistakes during delivery. Our attorneys specialize in linking these errors to birth injuries, helping families seek compensation for medical costs, pain, and suffering.
If having a team by your side to perform these critical tasks appeals to you, please contact us for a free consultation.
Duffy & Duffy successfully secured a $4,250,000 settlement for a child born at thirty-one weeks gestation (normal gestation is 40 weeks) as a result of the defendants’ failure to diagnose and treat mother’s pre-eclampsia condition. The child now suffers from cerebral palsy and will require medical care and treatment for the remainder of his life. This Queens County matter was settled during trial.
Duffy & Duffy’s legal expertise and determination were pivotal in navigating these complex medical and legal issues to achieve justice for the affected family. This significant settlement not only provides financial compensation for the child’s suffering and future medical needs but also underscores the critical importance of accurate and timely medical diagnoses.
This case highlights the potential consequences of medical negligence and the essential role of legal recourse in holding healthcare providers accountable. While this outcome cannot undo the harm suffered by the child, it offers a measure of justice and financial support for their long-term care. Duffy & Duffy’s success in this case demonstrates their commitment to advocating for victims of medical malpractice and ensuring accountability within the healthcare system.
Back in 1998 when we presented Victor’s case to you we had no idea that it would take so long. 17 years is Victor’s life thus far, 17 years represents 1/3 of our lives, 17 years is 2/3 of our marriage. We had no idea how Victor’s illness would affect him, but we knew it wasn’t good. And 17 years is a long time – we thank you for persevering for so long to reach a favorable outcome for victor. Your expertise and commitment to his case is really appreciated. It is a tremendous weight off our shoulders to know that Victor will be able to live his life reasonably and comfortably.
