Truck collided with client’s car in Vermont, causing severe chest injuries and eventual death. Settlement was based on pre-death pain and suffering and loss of income as a discount store clerk.

Death of child in car crash; settlement $1,900,000
Our client, a 14-year-old boy was a passenger in the rear seat of a car operated by a friend when the car left the highway and rolled over. A claim against one defendant was settled for $200,000, and the remaining defendants paid an additional $1.7 million in an arbitration award.

TWA flight 800 crash; settlement
Our client was one of the victims of the TWA Flight 800 crash off Long Island, New York. Our client was on route to Paris to present his fiancé with a diamond engagement ring when the plane went down. After years of litigation, the case was settled and the parties agreed to a confidentiality agreement. The engagement ring was eventually found at the bottom of the ocean.

Failure to diagnose cancer; settlement $1,350,000
Our client kept regular appointments with his internist who failed to order test for colon cancer. Our client discovered during a routine physical exam that he had a large colon tumor. The doctor’s insurance company initially contested the matter, but eventually agreed that a sigmoidoscopy test would have detected the cancer in time to have cured it. The case settled for $1,350,000.

Bladder perforation; settlement $300,000
During a hysterectomy, the surgeon negligently perforated our client’s bladder. To correct the mistake the surgeon accidentally sewed the client’s vaginal cuff to her bladder. It took the next two years to correct the mistake, and resulted in scarring and permanent numbness to the patient’s thigh.

Knee surgery infection; jury verdict $385,000
Our client underwent surgery for degenerative knee condition. The surgery was successful but left the client with an infection in his knee joint. The infection progressed to the point where another surgery was needed. The insurance company refused to settle the case and the jury awarded the client $385,000.
