Nash & Associates: Case Under Investigation
Nerve Injury – traumatic epidural/intra-operative trauma to uterine artery
Case Facts: This client underwent a C-Section at a local area hospital. Most fortunately, she delivered a healthy child. She was given an epidural to assist with her labor. During the course of the placement of the epidural, we believe, the anesthesiologist traumatized her spinal cord. Thereafter, during the course of the C-section, the obstetrician, it appears from the records, nicked her uterine artery causing loss of blood and the need for a blood transfusion.
As a result of either or both of these traumatic events, she suffered a foot drop, Bell’s Palsy and muscular-skeletal injuries for which she continues to suffer and receive treatment.

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.
