Nash & Associates: Case Under Investigation
Cerebral Palsy – birth trauma
Case Facts: Our client had a traumatic, induced labor due to contractions at 38 weeks with no dilation. After birth, she and her baby were both cleared for discharged from the hospital. As she was leaving with her son, she became concerned that he “was not acting right.” She called for medical help. Her son was in the middle of a seizure. He was readmitted to NICU for 32 days. Thereafter he has undergone ongoing medical treatment. He now suffers from upper extremity motor deficits and delayed cognitive functioning. This client sought out a lawyer when the educators at her son’s school advised her that she should consider seeking legal representation.

Again, the above ‘cases under investigation’ are just that – under investigation. At Nash & Associates, we recognize that bad results can occur even when the medical care is totally proper. We believe it is our ethical duty to our clients to totally and properly investigate these matters to identify those cases in which tragic outcomes are the result of negligence. While we attempt to initially screen incoming matters to determine which may have merit, the final determination to proceed to a lawsuit is not made unless and until we are satisfied, through proper investigation and qualified expert consultation. that a valid malpractice case exists. Of course, the ultimate determination of the validity of a case lies with the jurors who must unanimously agree that our assessment was correct.
We provide the above information to give you, the visitors to our sight, information as to a sampling of the nature of our practice and insight into the expertise we possess in this area of the law.
