Defense Verdict in Baltimore, MD

Brant Poling received a defense verdict, working in conjunction with local counsel, Kelly Hughes Iverson, in a medical malpractice case pending in Federal District Court in Baltimore Maryland.  The physician was accused of causing an injury to all five brachial plexus nerve roots at the time of birth by applying lateral traction during the delivery.  Our client denied the allegation and defense experts testified that the injuries were the result of the natural maternal forces of labor.  After a 10 day trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of our clients.
