Trial Victory in Anson County
October 3, 2025 by Lincoln Derr
Our LD trial team delivered a well-earned victory in favor of an ER physician who was accused of causing brain damage to a newborn by failing to diagnose preterm labor at 27 weeks, with the patient delivering on the same day she was discharged from the ER. Plaintiffs also alleged the physician failed to properly diagnose and resuscitate the 27-week premature infant who returned to the hospital following her birth in severe respiratory distress.
The jury carefully reviewed the evidence and fully exonerated the ER physician from any liability whatsoever.
Congratulations to Tricia Derr, Maria D. Ortiz, and Christian Whittington, NCCP on securing a major trial win in Anson County!
