Client:
Synopsis:Defendant Obstetrician-Gynecologist
Outcome:Defense Verdict
Plaintiff alleged that her obstetrician/gynecologist failed to diagnose and properly attend to her incompetent cervix, and as a result, she went into premature labor and lost a fetus at 22 weeks gestation.
The plaintiff contended that a cone biopsy of the cervix performed by the physician several years before the subject pregnancy caused structural damage of the cervix.
