Ross Feller Casey attorneys, over the past five years alone, have recovered over $1 billion for their clients, and resolved more major birth injury lawsuits, including cases involving uterine ruptures, than any other firm in Pennsylvania.
Typically occurring during early labor, a uterine rupture is a potentially life-threatening event for mother and baby in which the integrity of the myometrial wall is breached.
A uterine rupture occurs when a weakened spot on the uterine wall - very often the site of a previous uterine surgery such as a C-section or fibroid removal - tears due to the strain put on it during labor and delivery.
In an incomplete rupture, the peritoneum remains intact, but in a complete rupture, the content of the uterus may spill into the peritoneal cavity.
Studies suggest that in women with two or more prior cesareans, the rate of rupture rises as high as 3.9 percent.
Ross Feller Casey attorneys have successfully handled cases involving uterine rupture and nearly all other birth-related injuries, and stand out as the recognized legal experts for such cases.
Most recently, founding partner Joel J. Feller in 2020 won an impressive $15 million recovery a case involving the medical mismanagement of labor that caused a uterine rupture resulting in neurological injuries to a newborn.
