He was only able to communicate with the use of an alphabetic board and blinking his eye ... s. He was attended to by doctors at an HMO when he had classic signs of a stroke. He called the HMO doctor, who failed to follow up on his signs of the stroke. This led to a massive stroke after the doctors failed to adequately examine the plaintiff and send him for necessary emergency referrals. The HMO contended that the doctor was not their agent and was not responsible for him. However Susan E. Loggans & Associates, P.C. were able to prove otherwise. Ms. Loggans was able to settle the case for 16 Million Dollars, which was the highest known settlement against an HMO at the time of the occurrence.

N/A

OUTCOME: $8 Million Settlement

In her role as an Illinois medical malpractice attorney, Ms. Loggans represented a 6 year old boy and his mother for injuries sustained by the little boy when there was a delay encountered during his d ... elivery. His mother went to the local hospital on time but the defendant hospital failed to adequately inform the defendant physician of the plaintiff’s condition. The doctor failed to follow up on a timely basis and when she arrived at the hospital, an emergency procedure was attempted. Through the discovery and trial process, it was determined that records, originally withheld, reflected that while in the operating room, an anesthesia team was unavailable to perform the surgery on time. After a delay of an hour, the baby was finally delivered, which resulted in brain injuries to the little boy. After several years of treatment, he is able to successfully walk. He is having multiple difficulties in school. The combined settlement between the doctor and the hospital was 8 million dollars, which settlement was reached after 10 days of trial. The child and his mother are using their proceeds for educational assistance and other treatment.
