Medical Malpractice Verdicts and Settlements

 

An Horry County jury awarded our client a $3 million verdict in a medical malpractice/wrongful death case. In 2002, our client took his 25 year old wife to the emergency room because of back and abdominal pain. She was diagnosed with a kidney stone, discharged and was scheduled an appointment with a urologist the following Monday. Prior to the urology appointment, she passed away from an undetected infection. The jury found that the death was preventable and that the medical providers did not meet the accepted standard of care in failing to take appropriate vital signs and to perform basic testing which would likely have identified the infection. More on this medical malpractice case can be found here.

 

We negotiated a $425,000 settlement for a once-active, older client who now has some degree of paralysis due to incorrect medical treatment. Our client was never warned about injecting a newly prescribed medicine before a scheduled surgery to relieve pain from an old injury. Nor did the staff at the hospital where the surgery was performed ask if she had taken any medication earlier that day or perform a blood test that would have revealed the drug's presence. More information on this medical malpractice case can be found here.

 

Personal Injury Settlements and Verdicts

 

Our firm recently negotiated a $200,000 settlement for a 49 year old man who was rendered legally blind in his left eye following an incarceration in a South Carolina detention center.  Prior to even being convicted, our client was detained in a county holding center for 8 months and did not receive his prescription medication to treat his glaucoma for the initial 4 months of his stay.  Our client entered the facility with 20/20 vision in his left eye and was blind in a matter of weeks after the detention center refused to administer his medication despite numerous written and verbal pleas for his eye drops and medical assistance.  The detention center also refused to permit our client to treat with an ophthamologist during the entirety of his stay at the detention center despite numerous requests. More information on this personal injury case can be found here.

 

We negotiated a $250,000 settlement for a Kentucky woman who was injured while vacationing in Myrtle Beach, SC. Shortly after arriving, she was sitting by the pool when a piece of roof debris, falling from five stories above, crushed her foot and ankle. Although no amount of money can replace the mobility that she lost or compensate for her pain and suffering, we were able to settle her case just before the lawsuit went to trial. More information on this personal injury case can be found here.

 

Legal Malpractice Settlements and Verdicts

 

Our client was a South Carolina woman who suffered debilitating ankle injuries from a motor vehicle accident. We settled for $250,000 against the client's original attorney in a legal malpractice claim based upon the attorney's failure to act in a timely manner – a mistake that prevented our client from recovering damages from the at-fault driver. More information on this legal malpractice case can be found here.

 

Social Security Disability / Workers Compensation Settlements

 

One of our clients, unable to work for more than three years, was denied Social Security disability benefits. During those years, she had lost everything and was living in various shelters. We were granted an expedited hearing on her behalf, a rare occurrence in itself, in which she was found to be disabled and entitled to benefits.

 

In another instance, our client was a former long distance truck driver who waited six years after he became unable to work before applying for disability benefits. By the time he contacted us, his savings were gone. He was doubtful that he would ever receive any benefits based on the horror stories he had heard from other claimants who had been denied. After we helped him navigate an unfamiliar and somewhat threatening system, he was awarded benefits during the actual hearing. That almost never happens.
