Failure to Diagnose Meningitis - $3,200,000 Settlement
Reached at trial for our client, an infant twin, who suffered brain damage. We claimed that a hospital and the infant's doctor were negligent in not properly diagnosing a baby's meningitis. Had it been promptly diagnosed and treated, we alleged that brain damage would not have occurred.
Failure To Diagnose Head Trauma - $10,730,000 Verdict
In favor of our client, a young girl, and against the hospital, which failed to promptly diagnose and treat the effects of head trauma that she suffered after she was hit by a car while crossing the street. As a result, the child lost all vision and remains permanently blind. We proved that the emergency room should have taken cat scans which would have revealed that there was pressure on the child's brain, requiring emergency surgery. Had the surgery, (placement of a shunt) been performed, the child's vision would have been spared.
Delay in Performing Surgery - $1,750,000 Settlement
Reached on the eve of trial for our client, a government-employed architect, and against the hospital where he was treated for injuries he suffered in a motor vehicle accident. We claimed that our client suffered permanent brain damage as a result of the delay in treatment.
