Recovery in excess of a million dollars

A newborn child from Pittsburgh suffered a moderate traumatic brain injury as a result of a vacuum extractor, which was used to deliver the child during the birthing process at a Pittsburgh hospital. As a result of the brain injury, the child’s coordination, memory and cognitive function were disturbed. We filed a claim arguing that the obstetrician who used the vacuum extractor had exerted far too much pressure on it, thus leading to the injury. We obtained a recovery in excess of a million dollars on behalf of this child.
