Spinal epidural abscess case – recovery of $9,400,000 on behalf of our client.
A 52-year-old social worker was injured in the course of her employment at a local hospital. She had completed a significant spinal operation just a few weeks beforehand. Water carelessly left on the floor in the hospital cafeteria caused her to slip and fall and sustain serious injuries, which necessitated several more surgeries to fix the hardware which was damaged in the fall. A $1.95 million dollar settlement was reached.
Medical malpractice / failure to diagnose a 90 percent blockage of the left anterior descending artery. The physician’s insurer settled the matter for $1.5 million dollars before a lawsuit was even filed due to the extensive preparation of expert reports documenting the loss coupled with Kocian Law Group’s advocacy on the client’s behalf in a professional and expeditious manner.
A tractor trailer rolled downhill when the driver negligently forgot to set the brakes. The vehicle struck a 50-year-old woman in her car, which lead to traumatic brain injury and damages. A $1.4 million dollar settlement was reached.
A child at a local hospital was dropped on its head and died due to the negligence of the hospital security system and medical providers. Although the child was already very ill, with significant pre-existing medical conditions, the negligence accelerated the child’s early demise. A $1.4 million dollar settlement was reached.
A city police officer was and struck by another vehicle while parked at an accident scene in her police vehicle. She later required back surgery including a fusion to her vertebrae. The result was a $1,200,000 dollar judgment for the plaintiff.
A 20-year-old man was struck in his motor vehicle when a car travelled through a stop sign causing a fracture of the femur bone in his right leg. A $1 million dollar settlement was reached.
A thirty two year old female patient was seen by her ob/gyn who identified a palpable 1.5 cm x 1 cm lump in her breast during pregnancy. Despite identifying the lump no testing, imaging, tissue sampling, radiography or any other medical measures were taken by the same physician, over the course of two years of treatment, to identify whether the persistent lump was benign or cancerous. In fact, the physician assured the woman, during her course of care, that her lump was nothing to worry about and was likely a clogged milk duct. Approximately two years later the lump was determined to be a malignant cancer. The failure to timely provide the correct diagnosis led to a delay in treatment of the cancer. The matter resolved for the sum of $850,000.00.
A 16-year-old woman, who was a passenger in a motor vehicle, was struck when the tortfeasor’s vehicle went through a red light, causing a scar on her cornea. An $814,321.12 dollar settlement was reached.
