In a powerful victory for victims of medical negligence, Thomas Moore secured a $19.6 million verdict for a Queens family devastated by errors during labor and delivery. The case involved a jewelry designer and her husband, a postal worker, whose lives were forever changed during what should have been a routine birth.
The trial revealed a dual tragedy: the couple’s baby was born with cerebral palsy due to oxygen deprivation, and the mother suffered what the Staten Island Advance described as “mutilation” during a severely mishandled delivery. As a premier Queens birth injury lawyer, Thomas Moore meticulously proved that these life-altering injuries were the direct result of a breach in the standard of care by medical professionals.
This medical malpractice verdict provides the essential financial resources required for the child’s lifelong specialized care and addresses the profound physical and emotional trauma inflicted upon the mother.
