Our medical malpractice client was admitted into the hospital six days earlier than her due date diagnosed as suffering from preeclampsia. Labor was induced and despite the fact that the fetal monitor showed increasing signs of fetal distress a cesarean section was ordered and then canceled. When the cesarean section was again ordered it was not until 9 hours later that it was performed. Our client’s daughter was born with no respiration and a very low heart rate. As she developed it became apparent that the baby suffered from cognitive defects as well as severe hearing impairment and could only walk with braces. The parties settled before jury selection and agreed to pay $4,475,000 with an eventual payment to our client of over $37 million.

Corona Virus Update
Dear Valued Ronemus & Vilensky Clients,
Most of our staff will be working from their homes. No clients will be seen in our offices. We are certainly reachable by phone and email. Please click here for all of our emails and cell phone numbers. The office phones will still be working, but you most likely will have to leave a voice message.
Unfortunately, the court system has essentially shut down indefinitely. All cases have been systematically adjourned without the court telling us new dates. This will more than likely delay cases, but rest assured that we will do our best to keep your cases moving along, so please have patience as we navigate through this time.
Please do not hesitate to call us with questions, we are here to help you.
Stay well and healthy, Robert Vilensky & Michael Ronemus
