What cases look like

Term delivery complicated by shoulder dystocia; the infant has a permanent brachial plexus injury. The family says the nurse was alone at the bedside for the last 40 minutes of the second stage and the provider arrived late. We need a labor and delivery nurse to tell us whether the nursing care, monitoring and escalation met the standard before we decide whether to take the case.

A premature infant suffered a full-thickness extravasation injury to the foot from a peripheral IV running parenteral nutrition. We are in suit and need a detailed chronology of IV site assessments, pump changes and wound care across three shifts.

Adult patient on hydromorphone PCA after a hip replacement was found unresponsive on post-op day one. Plaintiff alleges inadequate respiratory monitoring. We represent the hospital and need a neutral standard of care review of the nursing assessments, sedation scoring and continuous monitoring, with a nurse willing to testify if the opinion holds.

Patient triaged as ESI 3 waited four hours before antibiotics and later required ICU admission for septic shock. We need a chronology from arrival through ICU transfer, focused on triage, reassessments and when sepsis criteria were first met.

Resident admitted for short-term rehab with intact skin developed a stage 4 sacral pressure injury over seven weeks. We need a review of the risk assessments, turning and repositioning records, nutrition, and how the care plan changed as the wound progressed.

Warehouse worker with a rotator cuff tear, two surgeries and 18 months of physical therapy. The adjuster needs a clear summary of treatment to date, gaps in care, and whether the current therapy plan follows the usual guidelines for this injury.
