Well, after 7 years of waiting our daughter Lauren finally won her case. The jury came back with a guilty verdict and awarded her $2 million dollars. Lauren was 11 lbs 2 oz and was stuck during delivery. Her Dr. did not perform the standard of care by using all the techniques used to deliver a baby with shoulder distocia. Our lawyers practice anywhere in Illinois but, will help anyone get in contact with a good trial lawyer in your area. We were in court for over a week and heard from several plaintiff and defense experts. Our lawyers have won this type of case many many times due to the fact of being prepared. Every time the defense came up with something against them they were able to counter it with facts. I'm writing this to try and help any child that suffers from an OBPI. This injury CAN be PREVENTED. Our daughter Lauren will never have complete use of her arm and faces many surgeries and challenges in her life. Lauren is a very happy child and never let’s what she can’t do, get her down. All the money in the world will never replace what she doesn’t have, but I hope it helps in later life. Lauren had surgery a TCH when she was 18 months old and is due for a visit soon. She continues to go the therapy weekly and is assisted in school by an occupational therapist. If we can help anyone with preparing or hearing what went on in court PLEASE E-Mail us.
