United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

I really don't know what to do, my lawyer said he had some affiliates look over my case and they can't find any mal. prat. involving the delivering Dr. My lawyer said he thinks since they knew she was going to be over 10 pounds and I asked for a c section they should have done one and the fact that the Dr showed up an hour after she was crowning there should be something we can do.

After hearing it the first time I am really disappointed. I think the Dr should be held responsible for Abbie's injuries.

Anyone else ever have the same problem? What did you do?
Thanks for everything!
Amy & Family

Hi Amy,
I can't say that we had the same experience, but we have been through the process of a malpractice case. It's not an easy road to travel and the outcome is by no means certain, but something you feel necessary to do - regardless. I can relate to that feeling.
You may want to contact Ken Levine, he is an attorney that has posted on the boards before and helped others with questions (including me) and handles many BPI cases. He may be listed in the Resources portion of this website. I think his office is in Mass., but I believe he tries cases in other states as well. He should be able to give you an honest assessment of your case and it's merits. He's very experienced in handling BPI cases. Have you talked to any other attorneys about your case? What state do you live in?
