Lesti Maj ppa Zayliah Meade v Yale New Haven Hospital (Filed in New Haven March 2013) Our client was laboring with her first baby and after many hours asked for a c-section. The doctors ignored her repeated requests and instead attempted a vacuum extraction. The extraction was attempted multiple times and caused skull fractures, brain swelling, and neurological damage. We are very sensitive to bringing cases in the area of birthing because it is often not fair to blame medical staff for the normal risks associated with childbirth. Here however the doctors intervened in such a reckless manner and without regard to the MORE

Cortes v. 456 Lombard, LLC (Filed February 2013 in New Haven): Despite repeated warnings that the parking lot was dangerous for people walking through it, this landlord refused to make repairs. In February 2011, the plaintiff was badly injured when he stumbled into a deep pothole. He suffered skull raptures and other orthopedic injuries.

Sechi v. Finn (Filed January 2013 in Stamford): The defendants invited people to their home for a Super Bowl party. Unfortunately, they did not salt or sand the steps leading into their home. Given the plaintiff’s very serious injuries, he was forced to make a claim against the defendant’s liability carrier. The liability career then refused to make good on this claim. This requires us to sue the homeowner directly. We are very hopeful that we can get the insurer to do the right thing here so that the parties can resume their friendship. This case is a reminder to MORE
