The Virginia birth-injury board is investigating charges of embezzlement in one of its key employees.  A forensic auditor has been engaged to track how much money was stolen.

According to reports, the suspect has embezzled about $800,000 from the program over at least three years.  The man was fired in March after discrepencies emerged in accounts for over 100 children with birth injuries, many of them with severe injuries.  It is yet to be seen how much money has been taken from the program, and by extension, from disabled children and teens.

If someone close to you has been the victim of birth injuries, contact the Philadelphia birth injury lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams by calling 215-329-3511.
