Nash & Associates: Case Under Investigation
Newborn Death
Case Facts: Our client presented to a local area hospital with leaking membranes. She remained in the hospital overnight for a stress test; however, the test was apparently never performed. She received a prescription for metronidazole to treat a urinary tract infection, and she was then discharged. She returned to the hospital through the emergency room with severe cramping. An emergency C-Section became necessary. Shortly after birth, the child was found to have suffered a Grade 3 bleed in the brain. This newborn then suffered from difficulty breathing and tragically died two days later.

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.

We are the ones who handle these matters with our many years of highly successful experience in the evaluation, settlement and, when necessary, litigation of medical malpractice and catastrophic injury cases.
