OUTCOME:

“Your child died during a routine procedure.” A highly trained brain surgeon, with a stellar reputation and a position as a professor at a major medical university, made a terrible mistake while per ... forming surgery and nicked a critical artery in the brain. The resulting hemorrhage could not be stopped. The woman, a beloved member of a large family and the sole support of her aged mother, died moments later, on the operating table.

The parties engaged in settlement negotiations before filing a lawsuit, and the family received a very favorable settlement without having to endure a lengthy, emotional trial.
