Timothy J. Sheehan (Partner-White Plains, NY) was quoted in “Blockbuster Birth Injury Verdict Holds Lessons,” published in Clinition.com on November 1, 2025. “Normally, birth injury cases are tried before juries, but for reasons unknown, this one was a bench trial, one decided by a judge who was aware that the hospital was in bankruptcy and had disrespected the court by not hiring new counsel to put on a defense,” said Sheehan. “The plaintiff’s attorneys told media outlets their version of the delivery events and the extent of damages that they submitted to the judge, but there was never a defense side presented on these issues that was reported to the press or submitted to the judge . . . . so in that sense it was not too surprising that the award was so high.”
