Proud to have been part of this amazing team!
After a three-week trial, just the night before closing arguments, our trial team reached an $18 million settlement in a birth injury case against a Chicago area hospital.
The case involved a first-time mother who presented to the hospital at 40 weeks pregnant. Our team argued that the hospital staff did not timely perform a c-section, resulting in oxygen deprivation and brain damage. The child was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
Our team consisted of Managing Partners Mike Bonamarte, Margaret Battersby Black, partners Dov Apfel, Seth Cardeli, and associate Jenna Ewing.
This young girl, whose life was forever changed by a birth injury, now has the security and support she needs for a brighter future. This case was truly transformative for the child and her family. Through this settlement, this young girl will get the treatment she needs and embrace a future filled with hope and healing.
