Keith Gross continues his record of substantial case settlements. He recently settled an action for several million dollars involving neurotoxicity to a child, who ingested dangerous concentrations of lead contained in the paint in her apartment. The paint was chipped and peeling due to the delipidated conditions of the walls and other painted surfaces. The lead paint condition had not been abated by the landlord. As a consequence, and despite treatment with chelation therapy, the child sustained neurological injuries, including developmental delays, and cognitive and academic deficits, which require Special Education services.

In addition, Keith recently attained a significant settlement at mediation of a case alleging the premature discharge of a preterm patient from the Labor and Delivery Suite of a major hospital. We maintained that this discharge occurred since the physicians had erroneously concluded that our client was not in a progressive labor, and required her to leave the hospital despite her protests that she was in active labor and her multiple requests to be retained at the hospital. She felt the baby’s head crowning as she arrived home in less than an hour of hospital discharge. She was obliged to self-deliver the baby, alone, in her bedroom, resulting in major and continuing injuries to both mother and child.
