Here are some of the successes we’ve had with Medical Malpractice Cases:
- A medical malpractice settlement of approximately $1.9 million against a Philadelphia area radiology group. Our client went to the hospital emergency room with complaints of stomach pain. The CT scan to confirm a diagnosis of diverticulitis reported normal kidney shadows. The “normal kidney shadows” in reality was a 5 cm malignant tumor in the patient’s kidney. Had the radiologist accurately read the CT scan the kidney could have been removed and the patient would have had a high probability of survival. By the time a diagnosis was made the cancer had metastasized and the outlook was much bleaker. We recommended a structured settlement to our client which will provide lifetime financial security for the entire family.
- A $2 million trial verdict against a physician in a medical malpractice case for failure to diagnose cancer.
- An $800,000 settlement for a woman whose eyesight was permanently damaged during experimental eye surgery which was deliberately performed without FDA or an IRB (Independent Review Board) approval.
- Substantial settlements in medical malpractice cases involving obstetrics, including compensation to the family of a stillborn baby following fetal distress.
- A life-long annuity for a child born handicapped with shoulder dystocia.
- A $750,000 settlement for a working woman who sustained a permanent intestinal/digestive injury from a medical error during gall bladder surgery.
