Recent $6+ Million Medical Malpractice Settlement

Robert B came to the Emergency Room with severe back pain and a history of an infection. He was admitted to the hospital and the diagnosis of a probable spinal epidural abscess was made.This is an infection that can seed in the spinal column adjacent to the spinal cord and requires emergency surgery. Mr. B needed an immediate MRI to confirm the medical diagnosis, but the hospital's MRI could not accommodate him. The hospital had no arrangements in place to obtain an 'open' MRI and surgery to repair the abscess was delayed for five days. Robert B became a paraplegic as a result. We were able to obtain a significant malpractice settlement in excess of $6 Million for Robert B.

What does personal injury law mean and what does personal injury law cover? Personal injury is a form of law called tort law, which has several elements. First there must be an existence of a legal duty owed to the injured. Then a breach of that duty must exist. In personal injury law, that breach is usually a form of negligence. If it can be shown that the breach of duty in a personal injury was the proximate cause suffered by the injured, then damages must be established. Typically all four of these personal injury issues must be shown in order to compensate the inured party in a personal injury claim.
