The attorney asked for our help in this medical negligence case (and not just because we are free). A very comprehensive review of all the documents identified the missed diagnosis and five other faults!! The original offer of settlement had been 4,000, treating the failure to diagnose as relatively minor. When she received our report, the attorney engaged more local help and eventually settled for 430,000. Result: instead of 4,000, the client got 365,500! That's a cool 91 times more than the original proposal!
A first report had concluded that the death was due to an unforeseen and unavoidable streak of circumstances.On receiving the documents we uncovered not one but four avoidable medical faults. We agreed that there was a streak of circumstances but each link in the streak was avoidable and one was totally unjustifiable! One "treatment" was totally unwarranted and therefore amounted to an assault. Settlement out of court: 3.5 million! The hospital and medical professionals escaped criminal indictment.
An older patient was recovering well after hip surgery, but had repeated problems with his blood pressure. The initial treatment was correct. It was intended to give short-term relief. It was ineffective but, instead of switching to another medication, it was repeatedly prescribed. The patient subsequently died and the cause of death was attributed to the patient’s age. When we examined the documents, we found four medical mistakes! The hospital accepted it had caused premature death and settled out of court for six-figures.
Following a traffic accident, a young man’s wounds failed to heal properly. The importance of these lesions was downplayed and, when complaints were made about the failure to heal, very little compensation was offered even though the young man’s future prospects were bleak because of his physical appearance. When the documents produced by the hospital were reviewed, we found the list of lesions had been reduced from 12 to 3, and there appeared to be problems with the treatment applied. We managed to get some additional documents that had been hidden (we know hospital systems and can always identify when documents are omitted from a file). Given the dishonesty by the hospital in preparing the file for the patient, we felt that a higher award of damages was required to reflect the cover-up. Settlement out of court for medical negligence: 1.1 million. Good money for the client to train for a new career.
Following a traffic accident involving whiplash injuries, a man developed diffuse pains and symptoms that were difficult to classify. He received multiple treatments at a local hospital with two surgeries performed. The insurance company claimed that the client was exaggerating the extent of the continuing pain and disability, and offered a miserable sum in settlement. Our full review of the case showed that one of the surgeries was unjustified and that other treatment was misconceived. Despite strong resistance from the defendant, the four figures increased to six figures in a settlement out of court.
This woman was given an epidural for a Cesarean section. She suffered pain during the insertion and was switched to a general anesthestic. She complained of poor treatment and unwarranted pain. When we reviewed the documents, we identified three further incidents of medical negligence. The settlement out of court was for five figures.
General anesthetic was administered and a tracheal intubation performed. Unfortunately, the endotracheal tube was misplaced. The child suffered cardiac arrest, was resuscitated, but has been classified as having neurovegetative status. In addition to the misplacement of the tube, three further incidents of medical negligence were identified. This was settled out of court for many millions to cover long-term nursing care.
Confidentiality is of prime importance for everyone and we are keeping it without exception. We will never use your name in any public context or give any indication that we have dealt with you.Why do we keep it tight? - Because it is in your interests So far, all the cases we have been involved in have been settled out of court. Our reports have been challenged by experts paid by the defendants but, when we have responded, the challenges have been withdrawn. Allowing such cases to come to trial would be too damaging for the doctors, professionals and organizations involved. Everyone wants to keep the extent of medical malpractice and negligence quiet for, despite the claims that professional standards are improving and that greater transparency is now the norm, professionals prefer to avoid negative publicity. - Because it is in our interests We would never get clients if we failed to guarantee absolute confidentiality. Settlements out of court always involve a clause for absolute secrecy regarding the case and its outcome. We would never put ourselves in breach of such an order. It would be bad for our business.
