Beasley Firm Birth Injury Law Firm Recovers Multimillion Dollar Settlement for Child With Cerebral Palsy

    PHILADELPHIA, PA, April 20, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Last week the birth injury attorneys at The Beasley Firm secured yet another multi-million dollar settlement on behalf of a child diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Just before a jury was scheduled to be sworn in, Philadelphia injury attorneys Dion Rassias and Catherine Rothenberger negotiated a multimillion dollar settlement to cover a lifetime of medical expenses for the brain damaged child. As an indication of how active our labor and delivery malpractice legal team is, the trial was scheduled to run concurrently with another Beasley Firm trial involving a child disabled after the doctors and hospital failed to diagnose and treat the mother's Group B Strep infection, a common yet entirely treatable condition in pregnancy.

In the case that was just settled, the newborn suffered from meconium aspiration pneumonia, a serious condition that can potentially block the airways of a newborn. The condition was not properly treated by the hospital physicians, and consequently the baby sustained serious and permanent brain injuries and neurological damage. As a result of this injury, the child was eventually diagnosed with cerebral palsy and years later is still unable to speak or walk. Since the child requires constant care, the settlement will ensure that the family can afford appropriate care and accommodations.

Since 1958, The Beasley Firm has set the standard for legal representation of children injured by medical malpractice, and secured hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts on their behalf. Our birth injury team consists of lawyers, physicians and nurses who specialize in maternal and neonatal care. Our collective knowledge assisted in obtaining the largest compensatory damages award in Pennsylvania history, a $100 million dollar jury verdict on behalf of brain damaged baby.
