Substantial Settlement for Stillborn Child due to Complications of Pre-Eclampsia

Philadelphia and Allentown, Pennsylvania, New Jersey

Managing Partner Marc Brecher of Wapner, Newman, Wigrizer, Brecher & Miller has obtained a substantial recovery on behalf of an estate of a child who was stillborn from complications of pre-eclampsia. Brecher was able to prove that the child's mother was inappropriately discharged from the hospital late in her pregnancy, even though she exhibited signs of pre-eclampsia as indicated by her elevated blood pressure, protein in her urine and complaints of headaches. Several days after the mother was discharged, she presented to a local hospital where she suffered a placental abruption which resulted in the death of her child. A placental abruption is a known consequence of untreated pre-eclampsia.
