Chicago Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Filed for Birth Injury at Advocate Condell
Hospital Liability for Negligent Maternal Care
On December 29, Mangani Nlandu and King Mukwalemsa filed a lawsuit against Advocate Condell Medical Center, Advocate Condell Physician Partners, and their related corporate entities, including Total Women’s Healthcare LLC; Midwest Anesthesia Partners LLC. They also filed suit against David Preskill, M.D., and Divyang R. Joshi, M.D., alleging the medical center and its medical staff failed to provide proper care while Nlandu was in their care, delivering her child.
Nlandu and Mukwalemsa are represented by our Chicago medical malpractice attorneys at McNabola & Associates, LLC. Our client alleges Nlandu suffered a stroke that caused permanent brain injury and other serious injuries while under the care of Advocate Condell Medical Center’s medical staff. Nlandu alleges Dr. Preskill was negligent because he failed to rule out preeclampsia, a dangerous pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure, failed to obtain an ultrasound, failed to treat her hypertension, and failed to deliver her child in a timely fashion. Our client also alleges Joshi was among the medical staff who failed to identify and treat hypertension.

Understanding Hypertension Malpractice in Obstetrical Cases
A failure to properly diagnose and treat hypertension during delivery can constitute serious medical negligence. At McNabola & Associates, our Chicago medical malpractice attorneys have seen how uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to devastating outcomes, including permanent brain injury for the mother. This type of hospital liability case requires extensive investigation into the standard of care that was breached. If medical staff fail to monitor vital signs, rule out preeclampsia, or act promptly, they may be held accountable for the resulting harm.
Victims of such negligence have the right to pursue a birth injury lawsuit to secure compensation for their immense physical, emotional, and financial damages. Our firm is dedicated to advocating for those who have suffered due to substandard medical treatment.
