Doctor perforated patient's bowel during hysterectomy causing extensive damage resulting in months of hospitalization.
OUTCOME: $150,000
My client suffered severe injuries due to a boat captain’s negligence. His injuries included several broken ribs, a partially collapsed lung, a broken nose, fractured teeth, and other cuts and bruises. ... Because this case involved a boating accident rather than a common car accident, finding an equivalent police report was not as apparent. Obtaining the US Coast Guard incident report was critical in discovering details about the captain’s actions and liability. I provided the insurance company with all of our details in a very thorough demand package. After extensive negotiations we were able to resolve the case favorably for the client without the need to litigate.
