The firm represented the mother-decedent and her infant son. The mother-decedent came under the care of the defendant-hospital in connection certain medical, anesthesiological and obstetrical care, treatment and/or surgery to be rendered to the plaintiff by the defendants, its agents, servants and/or employees. During the decedent's admission to the defendant-hospital, the defendant dispensed anesthesia during an epidural to the decedent in an inadequate manner. The mother-decedent suffered personal injuries and wrongful death due to the defendant's failure to properly administer epidural anesthesia. The defendant was also found to be careless and negligent in the care, treatment, delivery and management of the infant and his mother, pre-natally, peri-natally and post-natally, which caused brain damage to the infant. The case settled for $1,000,000.00 for wrongful death of mother and $3,000,000.00 for personal injuries of the infant due to the residue of the birth trauma sustained by infant.
