Legal Malpractice Stemming from Medical Malpractice: $325,000 Settlement
Feb 28, 2011OUTCOME: $325,000 Settlement
Our client's father died from a failure to diagnose a ruptured appendix. The defendant was a St. Louis area hospital. What could have been a simple operation turned out to be a tragic death. The ori ... ginal attorneys dismissed the case after filing a lawsuit, but then failed to re-file the case within the one-year savings statute. The attorneys didn't notify the client until it was too late to re-file. The difficult with a legal malpractice case like this is that we also had to prove the underlying medial malpractice case. We hired several experts and were able to clearly establish the medical negligence. The legal malpractice was not disputed. After months of negotiating, we were able to mediate the case and settle for $325,000. The money was placed in a structured settlement so that our client will be able to have his college paid for and will be able to receive several payouts throughout his lifetime. The interest earned on the structure settlement will allow him to receive substantially more over the life of the structure.
