Through litigation, we secured compensation for the surviving family members and held the healthcare providers accountable for this preventable death.

The evidence showed the patient was placed on continuous telemetry and pulse oximetry monitoring while admitted to a specialty hospital for rehabilitation. However, the telemetry system malfunctioned, leaving him unmonitored for an extended period of time.

Delayed Intubation and Failed Airway Management Caused Permanent Brain Damage

Through litigation, we secured compensation to help provide for lifelong care, rehabilitation, medical treatment, and long-term financial security for the child and his family.

The evidence showed the child arrived at the emergency department alive but critically ill with dangerously low oxygen levels and inadequate breathing. Despite the obvious airway emergency, providers delayed intubation and failed to properly oxygenate him while his condition rapidly deteriorated.

Failure to Diagnose Postpartum Stroke Warning Signs

Through litigation, we secured compensation to help provide for future medical care, therapy, supportive services, lost earning capacity, and long-term financial security.

Just days after delivering her baby, our client returned to the hospital complaining of the “worst headache of her life,” severe neck pain, and dangerously elevated blood pressure—classic red flags for a neurological emergency. Despite these symptoms and her diagnosis of severe preeclampsia, physicians failed to order brain or vascular imaging before discharging her home.
