Rachel Adamian v. Jennifer M. Balash, M.D., et al.
Case Number: 2022-L-004848
Judge: Robert F. Harris
Court: Circuit Court, Cook County, Illinois
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: Matthew L. Johnson, David M. Macksey, and David F. Jasinski
Description:
Chicago, Illinois personal injury medical malpractice lawyers represented the Plaintiffs.
This case arises from the alleged negligent medical care and treatment provided at TRE Medical's clinic and then at Good Samaritan Hospital before and during Dylan's birth, care that allegedly resulted in injuries to him. According to the complaint, Rachael went to TRE Medical on the morning of July 30, 2019, complaining of recent abdominal trauma and decreased fetal movement. She was seen by Dr. Balash, who is an obstetrician and gynecologist. Based on certain tests, Dr. Balash decided to admit Rachael to Good Samaritan Hospital for delivery. Upon delivery, which occurred six hours after Rachael was admitted to the hospital, Dylan was born pale, hypertonic, and with low hemoglobin. The complaint alleged, in essence, that Dr. Balash and medical personnel employed by Advocate should have recognized the need for an emergency caesarian section and ordered one sooner than they did.
