Medical Malpractice: $900,000 Settlement
A $900,000 settlement for a 32 year old mother who suffered a 4 centimeter separation of her symphysis pubis (pelvis) during a vaginal delivery at a Long Island hospital. The case settled during trial in the Supreme Court of Queens County after the client's obstetrician and orthopedist testified how a delivery room nurse overextended one leg in an attempt to hasten the delivery.
