More Case Reports

After bracing for the impending impact, the client's foot was thrust up and under the dashboard area, resulting in a fractured toe. While on crutches, the injured client was not allowed to participate in his clinical rotation at a teaching hospital, resulting in a one-year delay in graduation, and the consequent loss of one year's salary. With the help of an expert in medical economics, the case settled for the offending driver's full insurance policy limits of $100,000 without the need of filing suit.

Car Accident - Fractured Toe

$160,000
Car Accident - Herniated Disc

A 58-year old husband and father was stopped at a traffic light. The defendant driver struck the client's car from behind. The defendant contended that he had merely rolled into the client's car. Two weeks later, the client began to feel neck pain. Eight months later, the client felt tingling in his arm. A year later, the chiropractor discharged the patient at maximum medical improvement. The client had been a patient of the chiropractor off and on for nearly twenty years, with a diagnosis of degenerative disc disease in the neck. Over the next five years, the client underwent physical therapy and pain management. Five years after the accident, he had orthopedic surgery to his neck and has had no symptoms since then. The defendant claimed that the minimal impact could not have led to the surgery five years afterward. The case settled for $160,000 at mediation two weeks before the scheduled trial date.

In the days following the draining, black seepage and noxious odors emanated from the drainage site. After emergency transport to the emergency room, the client patient was diagnosed with flesh-eating bacteria, necessitating several surgeries over several months. Several months before the scheduled trial, the client died of unrelated causes. The client's Estate recovered $200,000.

Medical Negligence - Flesh-eating Bacteria

When the discussion became heated, the client asked the visitor to leave. When the visitor refused to leave voluntarily, the client attempted to eject him, walking him to the front door and onto the landing of the front steps. The visitor persisted in his refusal to leave, and ultimately the client and his former employee both fell down the front stairs. The client suffered a fractured ankle in the fall, necessitating three surgeries on his ankle. Suit was brought against the unwelcome visitor. The case settled for $225,000 on the morning of the first day of trial.

Personal Injury Plaintiff: General

$275,000
Defective Premises - Herniated Cervical Disc

After stumbling for several feet, his head impacted the exterior brick wall of the building. The force of the impact necessitated surgery to the spinal column in his neck. There were no witnesses to the incident. Suit was brought against the owners of the building and the company that had installed the walkway. The defendants claimed that the injured client had not fallen in the manner he had described, but rather that he had tripped on a curb, as described the responding paramedics in the ambulance report. The defendants further claimed that even if the injured client had tripped as described, any gap in the walkway was minimal but obvious to anyone who was watching where he was walking. The case settled for $275,000 following a full day of mediation shortly before trial was set to begin.

A 75-year old retired husband and father was recovering from a massive stroke when he was scheduled to begin a course of physical therapy and speech therapy at the defendant day rehabilitation center. The plaintiff contended that the facility's professional staff, including the defendant speech therapist, knew or should have known of the plaintiff's documented cognitive impairments, including diminished short-term memory and attention deficit. According to the medical records, at his second visit the wheelchair-bound plaintiff propelled himself down a hallway after the speech therapist had gone behind a partition to make some notes, without first alerting the therapist. When the plaintiff was discovered missing, a search of the facility ensued. The plaintiff was ultimately found on the floor of a bathroom that had not been properly outfitted for wheelchair-bound patients. Soon afterward the plaintiff was diagnosed with a broken hip from the fall in the bathroom, and underwent hip replacement surgery without any residual mobility problems. The defendant facility contended that its patients, including the plaintiff at his first visit, were routinely left alone, and that if the facility had been made aware of any impulsivity, it would have required the plaintiff's wife to supervise the plaintiff between the same-day physical therapy and speech therapy sessions. Shortly following the filing of a lawsuit, the parties agreed to engage in a full day of mediation, after which the case settled for $125,000.

Assault and Battery - Dissected Carotid Arteries

A 38-year-old mother of three was in her kitchen when she noticed her husband outside, fighting with a stranger. Instinctively, the client ran outside to protect her young children, who were playing nearby. When the assailant tried to flee, the client reached into the driver s compartment in an attempt to remove the keys from the ignition. The assailant pressed the client s hands against the steering wheel and drove forward, stopping and starting abruptly, and eventually released the client from his grip. The quick, jolting thrusts resulted in internal dissection of the client s carotid arteries. The client made an impressive recovery, with one of the dissections having completely healed. The defendant denied having touched the client, but had provided differing accounts of the incident to different investigators. The case settled for the defendant s insurance policy limits of $100,000 shortly before a scheduled arbitration.

Wrongful Death-Drowning in Liquid Sewage

A 38-year-old single laborer, one of several brothers in a close-knit family, was working on a sewerage pipe re-lining project when he was caused to be thrust, feet-first, approximately 150 feet down an enclosed, underground sewerage pipe. Although able to hold his breath for several minutes, the victim eventually succumbed, and was forced to inhale liquid sewage into his lungs and stomach. The defendant company was reported to have had safety equipment at the site to protect workers from such tragedies, but had not enforced its use by on-site workers. Following in-court testimony from a forensic pathologist and the victim's grief-stricken mother, the Court entered judgment against the defendant company.
