LDM Attorneys Deliver Mock Deposition on Birth Injury Litigation at 2026 CHI Maternal Child Health Conference
Attorneys Mike Storey and Denise Destache of Lamson Dugan & Murray LLP recently presented at the 2026 CHI Maternal Child Health Conference, leading an interactive session titled “The Burden of Proof: A Mock Deposition in a Birth Injury Lawsuit.”
Designed for obstetrical nurses, the session centered on a simulated deposition involving allegations of a brachial plexus injury following a shoulder dystocia—an area where clinical decision-making, documentation, and communication are often closely examined in litigation.
Rather than approaching the topic from a purely legal standpoint, the presentation focused on bridging the gap between patient care and legal scrutiny. Attendees were given a practical look at how routine clinical events can later be evaluated in a deposition setting, including how questions are framed, how testimony is developed, and how documentation can shape the trajectory of a case.
This type of hands-on, scenario-based education reflects LDM’s broader approach to medical malpractice defense: combining deep litigation experience with proactive engagement in the healthcare community.
LDM’s Medical Malpractice Defense team regularly represents healthcare providers and institutions in complex obstetrical cases, including those involving shoulder dystocia and alleged birth injuries.
