Our client underwent what should have been a routine gallbladder surgery but suffered severe complications when the surgeon accidentally severed a major bile duct. This surgical error led to multiple corrective surgeries, extended hospitalization, and permanent digestive complications that significantly impacted our client's quality of life.
Through extensive medical record review and expert testimony from leading surgeons, we demonstrated that the operating surgeon failed to follow standard surgical protocols and did not properly identify anatomical landmarks before making critical incisions. Our legal team worked with medical experts, life care planners, and economic specialists to document the full scope of damages.
Medical malpractice cases require proving that the healthcare provider deviated from the accepted standard of care. We had to demonstrate that a competent surgeon in similar circumstances would not have made the same error. The hospital's legal team argued that complications can occur in any surgery, making expert testimony crucial to our case.
When medical professionals fail in their duty of care, we ensure accountability and justice for those who suffer.
We assembled a team of medical experts including board-certified surgeons who reviewed the case and testified that the surgical technique used fell below the standard of care. We also worked with life care planners to calculate the ongoing medical costs and economic experts to determine lost earning capacity due to the client's permanent limitations.
After thorough preparation and expert testimony, we secured a $3.2 million settlement that covers past and future medical expenses, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and compensation for pain and suffering. This settlement ensures our client receives the ongoing medical care needed while providing financial security for their family.
