47 million verdict in a medical malpractice case involving failure to properly resuscitate a child that went into cardiac arrest while in a hospital. The child suffered terrible brain damage.

$4.25 million in a medical malpractice case involving failure to treat pre-eclampsia (or pregnancy-induced-hypertension) during labor. The child needed to be immediately delivered to relieve the hypertension, and the doctors failed to understand this. As a result, the mother suffered a stroke and had terrible brain damage.

$4 million in a medical malpractice case involving pediatric open-heart surgery where defendant failed to realized the breathing tube was clogged after surgery, and the child went into cardiac arrest and suffered brain damage

2.9 million in a case involving claims that a Caesarian section was delayed for 2 hours after the baby was in fetal distress. The baby suffered brain damage.

2.85 million in a case against a renowned orthopedic surgeon based on claims that he committed malpractice during spinal surgery resulting in paralysis.

$2.75 million in a medical malpractice case involving failure to properly manage labor resulting in brain damage. The mother came into the hospital in labor in the early morning hours, and despite clear indications that the baby was not getting enough oxygen, no one paid any attention until 5 hours later when the new shift came on. Despite an emergency caesarian section at that time, the child was brain damaged from lack of oxygen.

$2.7 million in a medical malpractice case involving botched neurosurgery resulting in paralysis. This case was against a world famous doctor who was doing surgery to remove a tumor in our client's spinal cord. The case resolved when we were able to prove through our own independent pathological evaluation of the specimens removed during the surgery that they had actually accidentally removed part of the spinal cord itself!

2.7 million in a case against world-famous neurosurgeon for causing paralysis while he removed a tumor from a cervical spine.

$2.56 million verdict in a medical malpractice case involving failure to timely diagnose and treat a heart attack. This case was fought on the issue of whether the decedent was already having the heart attack when he went to the doctor's office and reported "flu-like" symptoms. We were able to prove through independent review of the autopsy materials that the heart attack had started by the time he went to the doctor's office based upon the changes that had occurred to the heart prior to his death.

$1.85 million in a case involving birth injuries from failure to diagnose and treat fetal distress for inadequate oxygen; and many, many others.

$1.8 million in a case alleging post-mature delivery of an infant resulting in brain damage. This case was handed to us after 18 years of lawyers rejecting it as too difficult to prove. We had to show that the child's condition and appearance at birth was consistent with "post-mature syndrome," which was in no way documented in the hospital records. After a pain staking search, we located the women who shared a room with our client at the hospital 18 years earlier, who actually remembered the unusual appearance of the child following the birth.

$1.5 million in a case involving claims of failure to properly treat respiratory distress syndrome in a pre-mature neonate. This case involved a child who required oxygen after birth because his lungs weren't fully developed, and they failed to provide the oxygen he needed.

$1.5 million in a case involving erb's palsy as a result in improper delivery. This was to our knowledge the second highest erb's palsy settlement ever reported in New York. The defendants had a record of a sonogram taken during labor which showed the child was an appropriate candidate for a vaginal delivery. We had to show that this record was a fraud.

$1.3 million in a case involving failure to timely diagnose stomach cancer. This was an extraordinarily difficult case where we had to disprove the pathological findings of the two most famous cancer hospitals in the United States. The jury got to see the women's testimony with a video deposition taken of her before she died.

$1.5 million in a breast cancer case. This was also a very difficult case because of the aggressive nature of the cancer she had. Nonetheless, we were able to settle this case within 4 months of the client first coming to our office.

$1.1 million in a case involving claims of failure to timely diagnose an infection of the buttocks following injections of pain medication for a back injury. This case had to be tried to verdict twice (the first trial resulted in a hung jury).

1 million for a 76-year old man whose colon was perforated during a colonoscopy.
