Moore and Matthew Gaier, partners at Kramer, Dillof, Livingston & Moore (KDLM), authored “A Mother’s Emotional Distress.” The column reports that the NY Court of Appeals refused to overrule a 20-year-old precedent barring mothers from recovering emotional damages for injuries to their children during birth, citing stare decisis. Dissents argued this ruling ignores modern understanding and justice for maternal trauma.
