She has a history of a prior c-section and a subsequent vaginal delivery. The effort was again made to have mom deliver by vaginal birth after c-section for this pregnancy. Following Pitocin administration and clear amniotic fluid at rupture, Plaintiffs alleged fetal heart tracing changes occurred, which were not properly responded to by in-utero resuscitation of the fetus which should have included Pitocin cessation. The fetal heart tracings worsened and never improved. Fetal tachycardia and variable decelerations persisted without adjustment of Pitocin. Category II tracings progressed to Category III and ultimately a baby boy was born with Apgar\u2019s of 0,0,3,3, and 3 and cord gases that were compatible with acute total asphyxia. The failure to timely deliver caused respiratory failure encephalopathy and severe neurologic injuries. Plaintiffs alleged this was avoidable with earlier delivery and proper care and treatment.

\ncar crash in 1994 caused by an unqualified truck driver. Investigations
\nprompted by the tragedy and lawsuit revealed widespread corruption, whereby
\nthe Secretary of State\u2019s staff exchanged licenses for bribes that
\nwent to the campaign of George Ryan. These federal investigations triggered
\nOperation Safe Road, which required retesting for over 2,000 drivers using
\ntainted licenses and netted 76 convictions, including that of former Governor

\nour client who suffered massive leg injuries that required a double above-the-knee
\namputation in 2014. Our client, a truck driver, was transporting carbon
\nsteel tubing. The crane operator at the delivery location attempted to
\nunload the cargo, but because the tubing was improperly stacked and configured
\nfor unloading, one bundle of the tubing rolled out and crushed his legs,
\nlacerating his right popliteal artery and fracturing his fibula and tibia.
\nHis right knee was amputated above the knee, and after his left leg developed
\na fungal infection, the doctors had to amputate that one above the knee
\nas well. The jury awarded the Plaintiff $83,477,464 and his wife $12 million
\nfor a total of $95,477,464. This award was reduced 10% for the Plaintiff\u2019s
