Birth Injury Attorney Detroit

 Like any other consumer of goods or services, a mother delivering a baby needs to know her options and needs to be kept abreast of significant events during labor and delivery so that she may make informed choices in her care. When options or information are not made available by doctors and hospital staff, a woman’s right to participate in her own care – and that of her baby’s – is diminished. And what happens if the care she receives by her treating physicians and hospital results in an unfortunate outcome for her baby?

A $3.75 Million Settlement was recently approved for a child with mild Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation & developmental delays. Attorneys Jesse M. Reiter and Juliana Sabatini Plastiras said the child suffered brain damage at birth. The drug Cytotec was used to induce labor and neither the mom or baby responded well. Had the doctors performed the C-section earlier, the baby's brain damage could have been prevented, explained Jesse Reiter. The child will need lifelong care as a result.
