Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard attorneys Matthew L. Williams, Eirene N. Salvi, John A. Mennie, and David J. Rashid obtained $21 million for a medical negligence case. A $17 million settlement was obtained in 2023 after a nurse midwife mismanaged the second stage of labor leading to an emergent vacuum delivery, which caused a subgaleal hemorrhage. Plaintiff also alleged a hospitalist supervising the delivery was also negligent. In 2026, the remaining $4 million was obtained due to a physician that did not timely diagnose and treat the subgaleal hemorrhage in the newborn. As a result of the failure to diagnose and treat, the bleed caused hypoperfusion leading to shock and a permanent brain injury.
