Our lawyers have helped clients achieve success in their cases. There is no way we can list all cases so we have provided some representative cases. Because the circumstances of each case are unique, this is not intended to guarantee similar results.

Our client, a 62 year old man presented at the emergency room complaining of neck and chest pain. Despite his chest pain and prior medical history, the emergency room physician did not follow any protocols for a potential heart attack case. No EKGs or serial enzymes were done to rule out a heart attack. Our client was discharged home a few hours later. Just 90 minutes after discharge, our client had a fatal heart attack at home. The case settled for a confidential amount.

Our client, the mother of a newborn, was required to undergo a surgical procedure during her pregnancy to prevent miscarriage. This procedure involved taking a large suture and sewing up the cervix to prevent it from opening. At the time the mother went into labor, the suture needed to be removed. The baby was in a footling breech position meaning the feet were down near the birth canal in a backwards position for birth. The doctor cut the suture and cut off three of the baby’s toes. We obtained a confidential settlement.

Our client injured his left elbow during a fall. While x-rays were taken at the emergency room, no fractures were discovered. Because of continuing pain, an MRI was taken months later which confirmed a torn triceps tendon. The delay in diagnosis resulted in our client having limited function in that arm and a permanent disability. The case settled after filing the lawsuit but before trial.

Our clients, parents of their minor son, brought their son to the emergency room with complaints of pain in his testicles. The doctor failed to perform the necessary tests or emergency surgery in a timely manner to save the testicle. This resulted in the “death” of the testicle. The case settled after filing of a lawsuit but before trial.

Our client complained of a “growth” on his left buttocks. Without proper follow-up, our client was required to undergo a painful incision and drainage on what had been permitted to become a badly infected lesion. Moreover, the wound cleaning was inadequate and our client underwent another surgery to excise chronic infected tissue. The case settled after suit but before trial.
