New York Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Changes Venues

New York Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Changes Venues

After her child suffered significant and permanent birth injuries, a New York resident filed a medical malpractice complaint against Lutheran Medical Center and several healthcare professionals. The New York medical malpractice lawsuit was originally filed on August 9, 2011 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. However, because Lutheran Medical Center operates with funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the healthcare professionals of the hospital are considered to be federal employees. Therefore, the complaint was moved to federal court.

It is currently proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, under Judge Raymond J. Dearie.

 

New York birth injury lawyers seek compensation

Erb’s palsy can be the result of medical negligence. Patients who experience difficult deliveries, such as a breech presentation, require careful medical care. If the attending healthcare professionals fail to recommend a cesarean section for the baby’s sake, birth injuries can occur as the shoulders are injured or the head twists during delivery. When this occurs, the patient may be eligible to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.

The plaintiff in this New York medical malpractice lawsuit could obtain compensation for her medical expenses and the ongoing care requirements of her daughter. If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of possible medical negligence, contact the expert legal team of The Sanders Firm.
