Andrew Covner Prevails in Med-Mal Case
Andrew Covner of Engle Carobini Covner & Coats LLP obtained a dismissal of his two pediatrician clients on the third day of a medical malpractice trial in Ventura County Superior Court. Plaintiff had alleged the two pediatricians failed to diagnose a birth injury which left the minor plaintiff with severe and permanent brain damage. Defendants contended that the injury resulted from a traumatic injury which occurred after the birth, characterized as "Shaken Baby Syndrome," a claim which the child's parents successfully defended against in Juvenile Court proceedings. The extensive preparation and skillful argument by Mr. Covner in pre-trial motions resulted in a decision by plaintiff to dismiss the action on the third day of trial.
