Case Discontinuance

HPM&B Partners Denise Holzka and Doreen Dufficy and Of Counsel Megan Verbos recently secured a discontinuance after filing a motion for summary judgment on behalf of an OB/GYN resident and Hospital in a case venued in Bronx County.  Plaintiff alleged negligent care during labor and delivery and subsequent care provided in the neonatal intensive care unit that resulted in hypoxia and brain damage in the infant. With the support of experts in Maternal Fetal Medicine/Obstetrics and Gynecology, Neonatology, and Pediatric Neurology, HPM&B argued that the defendants acted in accordance with the standard of care and did not cause any of the infant’s alleged injuries. All claims were discontinued with prejudice.
