Over the years Robert Kornfeld has handled many cases involving medical negligence of adults, children and newborns. A brief list of some of the types of cases handled involving medical malpractice or nursing home negligence are as follows:

• Failure to diagnose breast cancer.
   
• Failure to diagnose throat cancer.
   
• Failure to diagnose larynx cancer.
   
• Nursing home negligence: Deviation in the standard of care of a brain injured adult.
   
• Hospital negligence: Nurses failed to properly monitor a patient with a tracheostomy and clean the trach after it became plugged by mucus causing the patient to suffer hypoxic brain damage.
   
• Failure to diagnose a fracture in a minor child which led to post-traumatic arthritis and multiple level joint fusions in the foot.
   
• Failure to remove a towel/sponge during surgery which caused ongoing abdominal pain for many years up until removal.
   
• Failure to diagnose and timely treat or repair an esophageal perforation.
   
• Child birth cases and complications of child birth: Both C-sections and natural deliveries. Complications involving in utero or post delivery care which led to hypoxia, cerebral palsy and other birth injuries.
   
• Anesthesia negligence: Both pre and post attempted intubation of a 32 year old mom who died during multiple attempts to pass a scope. Physician lost the airway and had no ability to revive the of the dose of paralytic medications given.

Examples of various child birth cases handled are:

• Hospital nursing negligence.
   
• Obstetrical negligence: Failing to properly perform fetal heart monitoring.
   
• Failure to perform any fetal heart monitoring.
   
• Failure to perform C-section in a timely fashion.
   
• Failure to undertake proper prenatal care of a diabetic mom.
• Seriously injured babies during child birth some of which are permanently disfigured, brain damaged and catastrophically injured.
   
• Negligence of midwife during delivery and failure to timely recognize the need for C-section.

In several of the child birth cases handled by this office, many of the babies and children have been catastrophically injured. For example, children have sustained birth injuries such as cerebral palsy, blindness, hearing loss, neurological damage, brain damage, burns due to being exposed to entirely too much post delivery heat in an oxygen sensitive environment and other serious injuries.

These are very sad cases, but we were able to financially prosecute a case like these for parents and families who did not have the ability to pay the charges for expert witnesses or to hire a lawyer. We handle cases on a contingency fee for our personal injury clients. You pay no fee unless we are successful on your case.

Given our 27 years of experience in personal injury law, we have many expert physicians who will evaluate your case to see if you have a meritorious medical negligence case.

Before any medical negligence cases are accepted, we exhaustively investigate the case. All medical negligence cases are defended and are costly.

Therefore, it is important to know that before a medical negligence case is accepted and prosecuted to trial, we need to know that the chances of success are excellent.
