The plaintiffs’ law firm financing company, California Attorney Lending, announced today that one of its clients, Gianni ♦ Petoyan, successfully resolved a birth injury case resulting from an obstetrical failure to diagnose intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)—a common prenatal condition. As a result, the child suffered a hypoxic injury in utero resulting in periventricular leukomalacia and cerebral palsy. The profoundly disabled child will require lifetime care. The case resolved a few weeks before trial.

The obstetrician, who sees 22-25 patients daily, failed to diagnose IUGR despite several red flags present at 25 weeks gestation, including lack of fetal movement, the mother’s net weight gain of less than one pound, amniotic fluid levels of less than 5% and an abnormal non-stress test, all of which were ignored. Plaintiffs’ experts contended appropriate diagnosis and standard of care treatment would have avoided injury to the baby.

Just days before delivering a three-pound male with cerebral palsy and brain damage, the obstetrician assured the mother she was carrying a healthy, seven-pound baby girl.

 Gianni ♦ Petoyan filed suit on behalf of the family. After the case resolved, Laura Gianni stated, “This is a great result for our clients and reiterates to the medical community that patient care cannot be sacrificed to increase profits.”
