Karl Josef Protil JR

I consulted with Mr. Protil about a medical malpractice case that has since settled for a substantial dollar amount. The case involved an emergency room physician's improper treatment of a corneal abrasion that caused a massive and rapid eye infection literally overnight and ultimately caused me to ...lose vision in the eye. During our consultation, Mr. Protil opined that the treating physician had done nothing constituting malpractice, a fact that I disputed during our consult and have since validated as incorrect. His contention was that the doctor, who used the antiquated and no-longer-recommended method of applying a pressure patch to the affected was not a breach of standard. There were two decades worth of clinical reports that had rendered pressure patching "not helpful for any one" and "very dangerous for contact lens-wearers" which I had told Mr. Protil I was. In contact lens wearers, the pressure patch creates a dark, warm and moist environment in which a bacterium called Pseudomonas Aeruginosa can thrive and enter the eye, destroying it completely in some cases within 48 hours. Twenty years earlier, physicians learned never to pressure patch an abrasion on the cornea of a contact lens wearer. Mr. Protil just didn't seem to get that fact despite empirical evidence that egregious malpractice had in fact been committed. He wrote me a letter stating his opinion that I did not have a meritorious case. Thankfully, I did not listen to him and went on to file a sucessful medical malpractice case.

I asked this attorney to help in a long going issue with abuse within VA that has caused me emotional harm He claims they don't handle intention harm My question is harm to anyone is neglect and intentional in some cases. I do not recommend him for Any of my Fellow Veterans or their families stay ...away

My time spent with Karl Josef during my case was a wonderful experience. This was the first time i have ever been in any type of law proceedings and I only have positive feedback from my experience. Karl Josef was very knowledgeable and professional during the the year and a half of working with him.... He treated me and my family with the most respect by informing us of any changes that would take place. He was very diligent in being responsive to any question, comment or concern of mines.
