Medical Malpractice Verdicts & Settlements

Recent  Medical Malpractice Case

$750,000 settlement was on behalf of a 75 year old gentleman confined to a wheelchair for last 60 years for post polio syndrome who went to a surgery center for eye surgery. He was unable to do a self transfer onto the OR table because it did not lower sufficiently nor did the center have any patient lift equipment to allow safer transfer from WC to OR table. Three doctors and a nurse attempted to lift the 235lb patient and in the process fractured his tibia. He subsequently tore his left rotator cuff trying to reposition his casted leg rendering him totally dependent for all transfers. We alleged violation of both federal and state laws which require medical facilities to provide full and equal access to medical services which includes policies and accommodative equipment to assist mobility challenged patients.
