The Cochran Firm Legal Blog

A Schenectady, New York jury has found Bellevue Hospital guilty of medical malpractice. The hospital must pay the family of Tiffany Bisone $43 million due to their negligent actions resulting in severe birth injuries.

Bisone developed cerebral palsy after the hospital staff failed to properly resuscitate her at birth. She is currently 25 years old, and this case has been in the courts since 1991. This case is rare for two reasons: due to the length of time it took to resolve as well as for the extremely large verdict that was delivered.

The $43 million verdict is one of the largest medical malpractice verdicts ever delivered in the area for a case involving birth injuries.
