Laura Jordan (Partner-White Plains, NY) and Christopher Hofmann (Associate-White Plains, NY) obtained a Decision and Order from Bronx County Supreme Court granting partial summary judgment in favor of a large New York City hospital. The plaintiff alleged that our client failed to timely perform a caesarean section as necessitated by indications of fetal distress in utero resulting in a hypoxic event and causing infant plaintiff’s subsequent cognitive and physical developmental delays and impairments. In moving for summary judgment, Laura and Chris argued, among other things, that there was no objective evidence that the infant-plaintiff suffered a perinatal hypoxic ischemic injury, including hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, during labor and delivery that caused any alleged neurological injuries or any of the infant-plaintiff’s impairments. The motion was supported by the affirmation of an expert Board Certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Clinical Genetics with a subspecialty in Maternal Fetal Medicine; the affidavit of another expert Board Certified in Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Neurology; and the affidavit of an expert Board Certified in Radiology with a special qualification in Neuroradiology. The parties were invited to conduct oral argument before the court, with Chris appearing on behalf of our client. Following the court’s partial grant of summary judgment, the plaintiff’s counsel dramatically reduced their demand from $3 million to $150,000, which is attributed to the breadth and sufficiency of the underlying motion papers.
