April 7, 2021 – A birth injury case against a hospital and OBGYN. The hospital nurses violated their own hospital policy in administering Pitocin to promote labour despite clear contraindications.

$4,900,000

February 2, 2023 – Recovery on behalf of a child against a hospital in a medical malpractice action. While her mother was in labor, there were concerning category II strips showing a sinusoidal “sharktooth” like pattern on the Fetal Heart Monitor. While subtle, this was concerning for a fetal-maternal haemorrhage, which required an earlier delivery to avoid injury to the child. When finally born, the child suffered from a hypoxic brain injury.
