Senior Trial Partner Laurie A. Annunziato and Senior Associate Deborah J. Cann won summary judgment on behalf of MCB’s client hospital, an OB/GYN private practice, and on vicarious liability claims involving a neonatologist, OB/GYN physician and nurses, in a matter involving alleged negligence during the labor and delivery of the infant plaintiff, as well as individual claims on behalf of the mother. This matter involved an alleged failure to timely respond to fetal compromise based upon the fetal heart tracings; failure to properly render neonatology care, and individual claims on behalf of the mother for 4th degree laceration. All claims against MCB’s insured were dismissed on the basis that none of their actions were a contributing factor to the alleged negligence.
