New York Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Involving Cerebral Palsy Results in $43 Million

The lawsuit alleged that Tiffany Busone, now 24 suffered a lack of oxygen at birth that resulted in her developing cerebral palsy. Since her birth injury Busone, a recent Arizona State University graduate, has been confided to a wheelchair.

Tiffany’s medical malpractice lawsuit compensation breaks down as follows $20 million for her home aides and care, $15 million for future pain and suffering $6 million for past pain and suffering and the remainder of the $43 million will go to lost income.

The statute of limitations or time limit on bring claims was not an issue in this case because the plaintiffs mother filed suit before the statute of limitations expired.

If you have questions regarding the statute of limitations in your child’s case please call and ask for me directly as soon as possible to avoid having the claim barred by the statute of limitations.
