| Case Description | |
|
Thomas E. Donahue litigated a case for a young adult woman who suffered brain injury as a result of her Obstetricians failure to diagnose and treat Pre-Eclampsia. The client was pregnant and was about one month from her due date when she began experiencing headaches and swelling in her arms and legs. During her last prenatal appointment a urinalysis revealed she had protein in her urine. Despite signs and symptoms of pre-eclampsia, the Obstetrician did nothing to diagnose her condition. Within days of that last visit, the patient suffered a hemorrhagic stroke and suffered brain injury. The child was delivered and, although had difficulties after birth, did fine thereafter. The Obstetrician agreed to a settlement for $1,000,000 which was the limits of his insurance policy. | |
