Klenofsky Law Firm Achieves Successful Settlement at Mediation

Jan 01, 2011

OUTCOME: $70,000.00 Settlement

The personal injury lawyers at THE KLENOFSKY LAW FIRM teamed with MEYERKORD & MEYERKORD to conduct a mediation and obtained a $70,000 settlement for a minor child with significant injuries and scarring ... as the result of a dangerous condition on a business owner's property. A mediation is an opportunity for the injured plaintiff and the defendant to come together with a neutral party/mediator (usually a former judge) in an attempt to settle a case. Mediations are non-binding, unless each party agrees on a settlement in writing. With our legal teams' skill, knowledge, resources, and diligence we were able to negotiate a settlement with the defendant's insurance company and avoid filing a lawsuit, possibly spending several months or years in court. The settlement proceeds will provide our client with an opportunity to have her medical treatment and future surgeries paid for.

Over-prescription Medical Malpractice Case Results in Settlement

Jan 01, 2009

OUTCOME: $150,000.00 Settlement

The Klenofsky Law Firm recently helped a St. Louis City man receive a $150,000 settlement in a medical malpractice case after having it turned down by more than a dozen attorneys. Our client visi ... ted his doctor for arthritis pain in July 2007. He was examined and prescribed 20 mg, three times a day of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug Piroxicam. The recommended dosage is 20 mg once per day. Within two months of beginning the dosage prescribed to him, our client experienced severe intestinal pain and fainted at his home. He was taken by ambulance to St. Louis University hospital. At the hospital it was discovered that he had a perforated gastric ulcer that required emergency surgery. He spent two weeks in the hospital recovering following the surgery. Our client had contacted more than 12 personal injury lawyers who either rejected or ignored the case. When he hired The Klenofsky Law Firm, we researched the Nursing Drug Handbook, determined the appropriate dosage of Piroxicam, and found an expert who would testify that an overdose would cause stomach ulcers. Though the Missouri Tort Reform Act of 2005 has greatly reduced the ability of victims of medical malpractice to obtain compensation for their legitimate claims, our St. Louis medical malpractice law firm continues to accept malpractice cases.
