Representing Parents of Children Born With Spina Bifida
In babies born with spina bifida, a portion of their neural tubes fail to close, causing spinal cord defects. In severe cases, the baby's spinal canal remains open, making the baby prone to life-threatening infections, such as meningitis.
Nagel Rice, LLP, obtained $1.45 Million after jury verdict in a wrongful birth action involving failure to diagnose spina bifida. Click here to review more wrongful birth/wrongful life verdicts and settlements.

Failure to Diagnose Spina Bifida
When a doctor fails to diagnose spina bifida while the baby is still in the womb, the parents are robbed of their right to choose whether they wish to carry the baby to full term.
The condition can result in devastating effects, including severe disability, early death and significant financial strain on a family. At Nagel Rice, we aggressively pursue compensation for victims of all kinds of medical malpractice, including ultrasound errors and wrongful births of children with spina bifida.
We try cases, and we produce results. Call Nagel Rice at 973-618-0400 or send us an e-mail. Our New Jersey wrongful birth lawyers serve clients throughout New Jersey, Essex, Morris, Bergen, Hudson, Union and Middlesex Counties; we have offices in Roseland, Red Bank and New York City.
