Paul M. da Costa, partner and chair of the firm’s Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury departments, was quoted in an article in NJ.com titled, “She couldn’t move. Had around-the-clock nursing home care. So how did a 4-year-old break her arm?”
The article discusses a lawsuit filed on behalf of Paul’s clients, the parents of a girl that suffered a spiral fracture of her left arm while at Phoenix Center for Rehabilitation and Pediatrics, formerly known as Wanaque Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation.
Such injuries are typically associated with concerns of child abuse, according to the lawyer for the parents, Paul da Costa of Sarno da Costa D’Aniello Maceri in Roseland, leading to a notification to the New Jersey Division of Child Protection & Permanency by officials at Morristown Medical Center, where K.A. was being treated for her broken arm.
“The parents are primarily looking to see that no other child at this facility is subject to the same abuse that their daughter had to endure,” da Costa said.
