William T. Collins, III Wins Dismissal of Claims on Behalf of Westchester County Maternal Fetal Specialist

William (Bill) T. Collins, III won summary judgment dismissing all claims of medical negligence on behalf of Feldman, Kleidman, Collins & Sappe LLP’s (FKC&S) client, a maternal fetal medicine specialist, in a Westchester County, NY case.

The plaintiffs claimed that FKC&S’s client, who was monitoring the patient’s placenta previa, failed to recommend a cesarian section delivery several weeks before her actual due date. Consequently, it was alleged that the infant suffered global developmental delays, brain damage, motor delays and a plethora of other injuries.

In establishing entitlement to dismissal of the claim, Bill successfully argued in the motion that FKC&S’s client’s role was as a consultant to the patient’s obstetrician; that the client properly interpreted prenatal ultrasounds; and FKC&S’s clients did not have a role in determining when to deliver the infant, as that was the responsibility of the patient’s obstetricians.
